What are the Countries the Mine the Most Bitcoin? - TOP BITCOIN COUNTRIES RANKED!

Peter Saddington explores the geographical distribution of Bitcoin mining, highlighting the shift in dominance from China to other nations. The video leverages IP address data from mining pools to estimate where the majority of Bitcoin hashing power is located. He clarifies that these figures reflect processing power allocation rather than precise coin creation locations due to privacy-centric design. Before China's regulatory crackdown, it accounted for a significant portion of global hashing activity, utilizing substantial electricity. The video explains how the crackdown caused miners to seek more favorable conditions elsewhere. The analysis also touches on the challenges of profitable mining, pointing to increasing difficulty and hardware costs driven by rising demand and the approaching maximum Bitcoin supply. He uses the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index for the information in this video.
