BTC itsel: di report na more about di miners equity economics pass say e be direct change for Bitcoin supply/demand. Even though American Bitcoin don reduce per-BTC mining cost wey dey help make mining sustainable, di revenue miss, equity sell-off, and peer losses (Hut 8) show sey people don more sensitive to BTC volatility rather than sey anything don change for BTC fundamentals. For short term, BTC still dey range under im previous peak, so e no likely to change BTC price trajectory materially.
