Recently, there have been significant changes in the current Bitcoin difficulty in the Bitcoin network. In early April, the network increased the difficulty by 3.87%, reaching 138.97 T. This adjustment occurred at block 943,488.
What is noteworthy is that at the same time, the network's hash rate reached 986.02 EH/s. The increase in computational power from miners is what caused this difficulty adjustment. When more miners are working on the network, blocks are produced much faster, so the system increases the difficulty.
The next adjustment is expected to happen in about 14 days. Let's see what happens then. If more miners continue to join, this cycle will keep going.
