Oh I definitely know how hard it is. Putting online adds on reddit and dndbeyond, I get one normal person out of 25 wackos. LGBT (mostly young males wanting to be females) I can’t handle nor other regarded people. Heavy screening first is needed or the whole table is in jeopardy.

This time, bitcoin miners won't come back
Jun 26
for 15 years, bitcoin's difficulty adjustment has been its immune system. it only heals the network if the miners come back. in 2026, they finally have somewhere better to go.
hashrate is falling, machines are going dark. we've been here before. in october 2025 hashprice, the daily revenue a miner earns per unit of computing power was around $52. by late february 2026 it was $28, the lowest in 5 years.
bitcoin now trades under $60k while the average all-in cost to mine a coin is near $70k, which means the typical miner is $10,000 underwater on every coin produced.
on june 14 difficulty fell 10% in a single adjustment, one of the eleven biggest downward moves in bitcoin's history. something like a fifth of the network's computing power has switched off since the october peak.
if you've watched a bitcoin cycle before, you know that's the classic behavior. and for 15 years, it's been right.
why it worked
bitcoin has a thermostat. every 2,016 blocks, about two weeks, the network retargets how hard it is to mine, aiming to keep blocks landing every ten minutes.
when miners switch off, blocks slow down, and at the next adjustment difficulty drops to match the smaller network. every machine still running suddenly earns a bigger share of the same rewards. margins for the survivors recover. the bleeding stops on its own.
the cleanest proof is july 2021. china banned mining and half the global hashrate vanished in weeks.
difficulty fell almost 28% in one adjustment, still the largest drop ever recorded.
within months the network had fully recovered, because the banned machines didn't die. they got on boats, found cheaper power in texas and kazakhstan, and switched back on. the thermostat did its job.
Image
when difficulty falls, survivors earn more, the network heals. it has happened every cycle.
this time will be different
the thermostat only heals the network if the machines come back.
every recovery in bitcoin's history runs on the same premise: a miner who powers down is pausing, not quitting. the rigs sit in a warehouse waiting for difficulty to fall or price to rise, and when it flips green they hum back to life.
but in 2026 the machines are ripped out.
galaxy didn't idle its helios site in texas, it physically removed the miners, took the write-down, and handed the building to an ai cloud on a fifteen-year lease.
Image
core scientific's ceo calls his own mining operation "in runoff." bitfarms renamed itself keel and said "we are no longer a bitcoin company."
these aren't pauses. they're 15-year, take-or-pay contracts, financed 75-85% by project debt, poured into liquid-cooled halls built for gpus that can't mine bitcoin. the power that left isn't waiting in a warehouse. it's gone, on paper, into the 2040s.
in 2021 the hashrate went on boats. in 2026 it's going into concrete.
a miner was never a bitcoin business
to see why, you have to be honest about what a bitcoin miner actually is. it was never really a bitcoin company. it was a leveraged bet on cheap, energized power, a business that turned electricity into hashes because, for a decade, hashing was the most valuable thing you could do with a stranded megawatt.
that is no longer true, and it's not close. mining earns roughly $80 to $150 per megawatt-hour. ai compute pays $1,600 to $4,000 for the same megawatt-hour. an ai hosting contract throws off $1.5-2 million per megawatt per year at 80-90% margins, against a mining business whose gross margins collapsed toward single digits this year.
when a buyer shows up offering ten to twenty-five times your revenue per unit of the one thing you actually own, power, you sign directly.
and they signed. over the past year the public miners have contracted something like $110 billion of power to ai, about six gigawatts, roughly a tenth of every ai data center under construction in america. bernstein stopped calling them miners. it calls them "the power landlords of ai."
the wrong winners
this inverts the whole capitulation story. the operator everyone celebrates, disciplined, low-cost, still mining, is earning a thin spread on a falling asset, collecting a bigger slice of a shrinking pie.
the operators who "capitulated" signed the richest contracts in the industry's history and got re-rated for it: miners with ai leases trade around twelve times forward sales, the pure hashers at six.
public miners change hands near $3 million per megawatt; private data-center power closes near $8 million. to fund the switch, public miners sold a record 32,000 bitcoin in the first quarter alone.
the thermostat is still doing its mechanical job, difficulty fell, the survivors' margins improved. but it's healing a network the best operators are walking away from. the field isn't consolidating around the strongest miners. the strongest miners are leaving.
the bill comes later
here's why that matters beyond this cycle. for 15 years the difficulty adjustment let bitcoiners wave away every scare with "it always recovers." it did, because mining was always the highest-value use of cheap power, so the capacity always came back.
take that away and everything falls. it numbs each squeeze while the network's best capacity migrates somewhere it won't return from.
transaction fees are about 1% of miner revenue today, down from 7% in 2024. the block subsidy, 99% of what pays for security, halves again in 2028.
for the dollar value securing bitcoin to merely stay flat, the price has to roughly double every cycle.
that was already a demanding ask. now mining has, for the first time, a richer bidder competing for its oxygen, paying 20 times more for the same megawatt.
justin drake calls it a ticking time bomb; peter todd thinks it ends in permanent mining centralization.
the field doesn't clear. it changes hands.
capitulation is here, and it still looks like a collapse: dark racks, falling charts, miners dumping coins.
the mechanism underneath is as orderly as ever.
but the conclusion everyone draws from it, don't worry, it always comes back, is expiring, because for the first time the capacity that leaves has somewhere better to be. AI pays much better.

Hey dude, check this out — Monero’s gonna stay under Bitcoin’s famous 21 million cap for another 15-20 years.
Right now Monero’s sitting at about 18.5 million coins. It adds a tiny fixed 0.6 XMR per block (that’s roughly 158,000 new coins a year). So yeah, it’ll take till around 2040-2042 before it even crosses 21 million.
The bitcoiner ostrich with it’s head in the sand, will scream “infinite supply!!” but come on — we’re talking a super small amount added every year, and the inflation rate is already under 1% and keeps dropping as the total grows. It’s basically like gold with a little extra dug up forever to keep miners honest and the network secure.
No worrying about the chain dying when block rewards vanish. Monero just keeps chugging with steady incentives while staying super private and usable.
That’s why I like it better long-term, man. Real money that works forever, not one that hopes fees save it someday.

Fuck Anthropic!!
BREAKING: Donald Trump just ended Anthropic’s whole company in one post. Elon Musk was right
“I am directing every federal agency to immediately CEASE all use of Anthropic’s Technology”
TIME TO BANKRUPT THAT WOKE COMPANY 🔥

Monero is projected to have finally have more coins than Bitcoin sometime between ~2035 and 2040, after which Monero's supply continues growing while Bitcoin's essentially plateaus.
This crossover is inevitable due to Monero's permanent issuance (designed for long-term miner incentives and fee market sustainability), while Bitcoin caps at 21M. Community resources (e.g., emission comparison graphs on getmonero.org docs or old Reddit analyses) illustrate this long-term dynamic clearly.
In summary:
- Current Monero supply → ~18.45 million XMR (Feb 2026).
- Monero has fewer coins than Bitcoin today and will for another ~10–15 years.
THE TOTAL circulating supply IS AUDITABLE in a reliable way. Here's how people actually do it in practice:
### Primary / Practical Method (What most people and explorers use)
1. Run a full Monero node (monerod).
2. Use the daemon RPC command print_coinbase_tx_sum
This sums only the visible coinbase reward outputs (the newly minted coins + transaction fees collected in every block).
Example usage in the Monero CLI or via RPC:
print_coinbase_tx_sum 0 <current_height>
or more practically from block 0 to the current chain height.
→ This gives you the total amount that has ever been legally emitted according to the emission schedule (including tail emission of 0.6 XMR/block since mid-2022).
3. Compare that number against the theoretical maximum emission up to the current block height.
The Monero emission curve is well-defined and can be calculated independently:
- Main emission phase: starts at ~18.4 XMR/block and geometrically decays until ~May 2022
- Tail emission: fixed 0.6 XMR per block forever afterward
There are simple scripts / formulas to compute the exact allowed supply at any height (many are shared on GitHub or in Monero community repos).
If the summed coinbase amount ≤ the allowed emission curve at that height → no inflation has occurred from known vectors.
(In practice it should be exactly equal to the allowed amount, modulo very minor rounding/edge cases.)
### Why this works even though amounts are hidden
- Every block must include a coinbase transaction.
- The coinbase reward outputs are not RingCT-hidden — their amounts are in clear text (by protocol design).
- All other inflation vectors (fake outputs, broken commitments, etc.) would either:
- Be caught by honest nodes during transaction verification (range proofs, commitment sums = 0, etc.), or
- Violate the coinbase emission rules → detectable via the above sum.
### Additional / Complementary Checks
- Run an independent node implementation (e.g. Cuprate in Rust, which became production-ready around 2025) and compare the coinbase sum with monerod.
- Use community tools/scripts that automate the check:
- e.g. monero_inflation_checker (Python tool on GitHub)
- Various one-liners or small programs that query RPC and compare vs. the emission formula
- Watch known explorers (e.g. p2pool observers, xmrchain.net, or others) — they run the same coinbase summation logic.
