- Bitcoin Cash is the biggest gainer after a falling wedge pattern breakout.
A research conducted by BitMEX Research reveals that the ongoing hash war between Bitcoin Cash split chains has led to a loss of more than $6 million. Due to the conflict between Bitcoin ABC and Bitcoin SV, coin.dance has found that it is much more profitable to mine Bitcoin as opposed to Bitcoin Cash.
“If one assumes the hashrate is leased, we estimate the protagonists have spent $6.7m in leasing fees since the split, generating combined gross losses of $4.6m. It is only a matter of time until this pointless battle ends,” BitMEX shared on Twitter.
BitMEX continued:
“Even assuming cheap energy costs, SV miners have a negative gross margin of 353% & $1.4m of gross losses.”
