Read MoreRead what Mason Jappa, CEO of Blockware Solutions has to say about the Core Scientific bankruptcy process. Bitcoin mining is highly energy intensive, and many of the large energy bills from the winter are just now being received. Mining is a complex process and many of the CORZ shareholders likely don’t understand completely how it works.
Read More“Miners are becoming very selective about where they build out their infrastructure,” said Joe Burnett, an analyst at mining firm Blockware Solutions. “A few years ago people were really just focused on cheap power but now it’s become a lot more critical to look at which political jurisdiction is more favorable and isn’t going to shut down our operations.”
Read MoreListen to Blockware Solutions CEO Mason Jappa on the recent Bloomberg Crypto Podcast. Mason Jappa and Bloomberg reporter David Pan discuss the troubling year that miners experienced, how large players are being forced to liquidate thousands of Bitcoin mining rigs, and who’s buying them.
Read MoreNew data from Blockware Solutions, a blockchain research firm, pointed to a series of bullish omens to suggest that bitcoin may be nearing the end of its downward trajectory in the immediate future.
As long-time participants in the Bitcoin community are well aware, the crypto space can be extremely volatile even at the best of times (for better or worse), and both large spikes and pitfalls can end up appearing or melting away without warning or much in the way of explanation. Nevertheless, the overall tendency in the value of bitcoin since its inception has shown a consistent rise in its value.
Read MoreThe digital gold rush in Texas is losing its luster as Bitcoin miners grapple with financial woes, leaving behind what some fear will be a wasteland of unfinished sites and abandoned equipment.
In an effort to become a haven for crypto mining, Texas has aggressively lured miners with cheap power and favorable regulations. Mason Jappa, CEO of Blockware Solutions, comments on the oversupply of infrastructure and rigs in Texas.
Read MoreBeleaguered crypto lenders are being dealt another blow from Bitcoin miners as they weather the aftermath of the FTX collapse.
Miners, who raised as much as $4 billion from mining-equipment financing when profit margins were as high as 90%, are defaulting on loans and sending hundreds of thousands of machines that served as collateral back to lenders. New York Digital Investment Group, Celsius Network, BlockFi Inc., Galaxy Digital, and the Foundry unit of Digital Currency Group were among the biggest providers of funding to finance computer equipment and build data centers. Mason Jappa, CEO of Blockware Solutions commentates on the environment.
Read MoreJoe Burnett, Head Analyst at Blockware Solutions told Cointelegraph, “I think the small miner capitulation Bitcoin experienced this summer knocked out some weak and overleveraged players. I do not think we will see another significant drop in hash rate without Bitcoin making new lows below $17,600. It doesn't mean individual weak miners won't drop off this year and next, but the new gen rigs getting plugged in will likely be enough to keep hash rate trending upward.”
When asked about the surge in hash rate placing pressure on higher difficulty adjustments and the knock-on-effect on miner profitability, Burnett said, “Individual weak players may drop off and get knocked out, but it won't be a significant and sudden "miner capitulation" without a drop in BTC price. Margins are definitely tight.”
Read More“Bitcoin miners have continued to watch margins compress - the price of bitcoin has fallen, mining difficulty has risen and energy prices have soared,” said Joe Burnett, head analyst at Blockware Solutions.
The time to mine Bitcoin is when rigs are cheap and margins are compressed. Bitcoin is likely in the depths of a bear market now.
Read More“The market is clearly rewarding the most quality names and there are clear signals of relative strength among the leaders. While public miners all essentially have the same objective, to mine BTC for the lowest possible cost, these companies are not all created equal,” according to a recent report from Blockware Intelligence.
Read More"Over the past six months, hash rate and mining difficulty have increased while the price of bitcoin has dropped. These are both negatives for existing miners as both work to compress margins," said Joe Burnett, analyst at bitcoin mining firm Blockware Solutions.
"Bitcoin bottoms have been marked at the end of miner capitulation, that could be a sign that the miners that can survive this capitulation have a light at the end of the tunnel," Burnett said.

Read MoreWith publicly traded mining equities down, on average, more than 50% this year, investors’ confidence in the sector might be shaken. However, this could be an opportune time for longer-term investors to bottom-fish for attractive value. “Timing the exact bottom is not easy, but many on-chain and market indicators point to now being a good time to accumulate both bitcoin and bitcoin mining rigs,” said Blockware Solution’s Jappa. So then, what should the investors look for in a miner to sort out the winners?

Read MoreThough some bitcoin supporters touted it as a storage of value and a hedge against inflation, it has been trading like a risk asset for the past few months.
“The type of market participants that have stepped in over the last few years are largely these macro-trading traditional funds. They are trading bitcoins the way that they trade tech stocks, although a lot of aspects of bitcoin are inherently viewed as risk-off by crypto-native people,” Will Clemente, lead insights analyst at bitcoin mining company Blockware Solutions, told MarketWatch in an interview.
Read MoreThe amount of bitcoin supply that hasn’t moved in at least a year has hit an all-time high, according to Will Clemente, lead insights analyst at Blockware Solutions. He also said long-term holder supply has also increased, despite their cost basis declining. That signals a supply transfer from top buyers to long term holders.
“With macro in the driver seat, fundamental Bitcoin analysis such as on-chain analysis has had less weighing in our market outlook currently,” he said. “However, with that in mind, beneath the surface fundamental investors have been sitting tight.”
