Also worth noting is hashcoins datacenter recently raised the minimum threshold for withdrawal, setting it in the amount of 0.05 BTC and 0.1 ETH that, in General, was probably justified from a commercial perspective, taking into account the fast growing Hasrat network of bitcoin.
Critics of cloud mining I can say that such a scenario sooner or later to be expected, but in fairness it should also be recognized that the current profitability of mining do not go to any comparison with what happened in the early stages of bitcoin when mining was possible on a normal home computers.
In 2018, total Hasrat bitcoin rose to their maximum values, making today 44.3 EHash/s.
With the beginning of the year growth was almost threefold, while the price of bitcoin – on the contrary – fell by half.
