A new record allows us to say that the growth of the network is exponential. The resource Blockchain.com confirms that over the past three months, the network has grown by 60%. In the middle of June, it was reported that a mark of 43 quintillion hashes had been reached.
Philip Heilberg, who is a well-known analyst, commented on this news on his Twitter account:
#bitcoin"Hashrate growth for BTC for last 3 months is 60 percent. Even assuming a 10 percent growth rate, it makes you wonder what sellers are thinking. Must be close to the bottom for crypto especially Bitcoin and litecoin"
