Challenges in Bitcoin Mining: Cryptocurrency analyst Joao Wedson highlights that the Bitcoin mining industry is facing significant challenges in 2025, with miners' earnings remaining below the peaks of 2017 and 2021 despite high BTC prices.
Mining Equilibrium Index (MEI): Wedson introduced the Mining Equilibrium Index (MEI) to assess mining profitability, currently at 1.06, indicating above-average conditions but still far from the highs of previous years; he warns that miners may need to sell reserves if profitability does not meet rising operational costs.
