A bunch of miners in China went down for maintenance which caused a massive decrease in hash rate for the rest of the miners. Miners difficulty corrects every 2 weeks and I believe the next adjustment is in the 30th. This is a part of the reason behind the dip.

I wonder if China did this on purpose because the people’s bank of China said that bitcoin is an ‘investment alternative’. Could this be a sign that China’s loading up on bitcoin 🤔
