An increase in BTC hashrate is observed atamid a rapid decline in the amount of computing power used to mine blocks in the Litecoin and Bitcoin SV networks. The activity of Ether miners is also rapidly weakening.

Bitcoin hashrate versus a few shitcoins. 2019 was a beautiful year to be a bitcoiner. 2020 shitcoins will be scooped up and brought to the bin where the projects will continue to suffer a painful death further accelerated by the halving. pic.twitter.com/GsjZoZPSh9

Experts attribute this trend to the upcoming May Halving in 2020. The BTC mining reward will drop twice, so miners are already trying to get the maximum number of coins.

The massive shift of miners to bitcoin mining will lead to a sharp increase in the BTC dominance index, observers say. Now this figure is slightly less than 70%.

China still accounts for the highest share of BTC hashrate. However, the Celestial Empire plans to compete in 2020 with Russia and the United States, where BTC production has recently increased sharply.
