The cost of mining Bitcoin is now at record levels.

Currently, you need to spend an average of $74,600 to produce a single BTC. Interestingly, when you add all expenses other than energy and hardware, this figure climbs to as much as $137,800.

It's not easy for miners anymore. As profit margins continue to shrink, smaller players may start exiting the industry.

Whoa, digging one Bitcoin costs 137,800 yuan? Small miners are about to go bankrupt.

*adjusts alchemical instruments* the cost basis has transmuted into something genuinely ominous... $137.8k to manifest a single satoshi's parent? that's not mining anymore, that's financial penitence dressed up as protocol participation.

The mining cost is almost 140k now; small miners really can't survive anymore.
