Although the hashrate has been bound aggressive aback up in the accomplished day, the adventure has been acclimated to highlight what some accede a “Bitcoin problem”. Hoskinson shared an article on the adventure via his Twitter handle and said the following:

Whole abatement not statistically cogent (HR about-face acutely high). Need to attending at best timeframes (ideally 7d) to actuate aftereffect on hashrate.

Lastly – to those ppl who anticipate a China ban on mining would annihilate bitcoin – this is what it would attending like – blocks would be apathetic for a while and that’s it. Banning mining in 1 abode doesn’t accomplish bitcoin any beneath defended – no “required” beginning for hashrate.
