Hi @hatu

but has also retained its status as king: Bitcoin blockchain.

Indeed he retained as a king. And what a bloodbath it has been :) King right in the middle of cemetary :)

Recently, a number of mining farms have gone out of business in countries that have mid-to-high electricity costs.

I was just wondering, if this fact really affected entire network? Transfering BTC seem to be faster and cheaper than december 2017. So overall even with current prices it seem that blockchain infrastructure is already better than it has been 1 year earlier?

Yours
