According to data from Coinbase, Bitcoin miners started hoarding the digital currency instead of taking profit for the first time since Dec. 2020. And this can mean a lot to the price of Bitcoin and other digital currencies in the future.
In the last year, Bitcoin soared 400% to reach an all-time high of $58,332. At that time, Bitcoin miners were ceasing profits from selling the cryptocurrency amid the bullish rally. However, the cryptocurrency plummeted back to $45,000 in late February in a severe correction, and Bitcoin miners had to adopt a new strategy.
Bitcoin miners mine the digital currency online using strong GPUs while the computer solves complicated equations that eventually lead to the creation of the blockchain; the system responsible for cryptocurrencies trading and exchange. That being said, when Bitcoin miners halt the selling operations, the cryptocurrency market suffers a shortage in digital currencies.
In recent months, Bitcoin miners and whales were the biggest responsible for the digital currencies corrections because of selling cryptocurrencies amid the Bitcoin rally. Consequently, Bitcoin miners were ceasing profit from mining but negatively impacting the crypto market with provoking corrections every time.
