CryptoSlate reports that Bitcoin mining difficulty has hit 148 trillion. This increase comes as mining revenues have fallen to three-month lows. For instance, on October 30, a 25 J/TH mining rig can cover power costs of approximately 5.45 cents per kWh, factoring in a 2% pool fee. The current market conditions suggest challenges for miners as profitability decreases amid rising difficulty levels.
