Impact of China's Bitcoin Mining Crackdown on Hash Rate and Difficulty Adjustment

China's crackdown on Bitcoin mining led to a significant drop in hash rate, resulting in multiple negative difficulty adjustments, including the largest in Bitcoin history at -28%. This disruption caused stress on the network, with blocks coming in slowly and mining facilities relocating globally. As miners in North America gained market share, the price's stability and recovery are closely tied to the return of hash rate over the next 6-9 months.
