Bitcoin mining is one of the most misunderstood but essential aspects of the crypto ecosystem.
Mining has set a clear profitability of at least 12 years, but concerns about centralization and sustainability have risen. Mason Jacka, CEO of Blockware.
Speaking to Round Table host Rob Nelson, Jappa noted that Bitcoin price growth continues to outperform mining difficulties, ensuring miners are still profitable .
“Looking at historical data, Bitcoin prices outweigh the difficult growth and run monthly, so Bitcoin prices increase by around 5%. The monthly difficulty level is up by around 3.14%. “Jappa explained. “So what needs to happen in the future is whether mining transactions are needed, miners are making more from fees, or they have a price rate of $1 million in Bitcoin. But I do. The next 12 years for us will be very clear.”
This slight advantage ensures that mining is viable for at least the next decade. However, as Bitcoin halving continues to reduce mining rewards, Jappa believes miners need to rely more on trading fees or future Bitcoin prices of $1 million. “We’ll chase 1% (of the remaining bitcoin) from 2036 onwards.”
Founded in 2017, Blockware Solutions, LLC is a US-based distributor and container solutions provider of Bitcoin ASIC mining rigs. We also operate a peer-to-peer marketplace for used mining equipment.
Since its establishment, the company has sold over 400,000 cryptocurrency mining rigs. It is also the owner and operator of colocation data centers and hosting facilities, with hosting clients over 500 MW.
Despite Bitcoin’s decentralized spirit, large institutions are beginning to take control of the mining industry.
Jappa noted that some of the largest mining companies in Texas, in particular, are shifting resources from Bitcoin mining to high performance computing (HPC) instead.
“A lot of the biggest miners at the moment are moving to HPC. I think they’ll be deploying HPC instead of building Bitcoin mining.
Price notes that the key to decentralizing Bitcoin can be key.
“If more retailers can be involved and involved in the mining process, it will make it stronger in the minds of retail as a basic asset, not just overnight crypto, but also in the minds of retail as a basic asset.” Price insisted.
Jappa agreed, noting that over 50% of Bitcoin’s mining network is currently managed by public agencies. The more retail miners participate, the healthier and decentralized Bitcoin will be.
