As Bitcoin’s price staggers like a debutante at a teetotaler’s ball, China’s latest mining crackdown has once again provided the spectacle of fiscal folly. How very predictable.
In Xinjiang, a province better known for its cotton than its crypto, some 400,000 miners were unceremoniously unplugged. One moment they were humming along, the next-a scene of confusion rivaling a Marx Brothers sketch. Forced to sell Bitcoin to fund their hasty retreat, these digital prospectors now face the grim arithmetic of survival.
Mining Disruptions: When Hash Rates Meet Hard Knocks
Jack Kong, former chairman of Canaan and a man who’s seen more Bitcoin drama than a Netflix miniseries, took to social media to declare that China’s hash rate plummeted by 100 EH/s in 24 hours. That’s an 8% nosedive, darling-roughly the same percentage of dignity most investors have left.

Ex-Chairman of $CAN says 400k BTC mining machines shut off in China

Bitcoin promptly collapsed to $86,000, a price drop so dramatic it made the fall of the Berlin Wall look like a minor setback. Analysts, ever eager to assign blame, noted the timing was “more than coincidental.” No, really? Next you’ll tell me water is wet and politicians are insincere.
Miner Shutdowns: When Liquidity Meets Panic
According to the soothsayer known as NoLimit, forced miner shutdowns trigger a “chain reaction” of chaos. Revenue vanishes, liquidity dries up, and suddenly everyone’s selling Bitcoin like it’s a hot potato at a fire sale. 🚨
🚨 BITCOIN IS CRASHING AND THIS IS THE REASON WHY!!!
Bitcoin is down today for a very simple reason, and almost nobody is explaining it properly.
It’s coming straight from China, and the timing matters.
That’s right, china’s crashing bitcoin, AGAIN.
Here’s what’s happening:…

“That creates real sell pressure, not the other way around,” NoLimit declared, as if explaining that thunder is loud and clouds are wet.
A Mining Comeback Thwarted by Bureaucratic Zeal
China had just reclaimed its spot as the world’s third-largest mining hub, thanks to “low-cost power” and “surplus electricity.” How quaint. Analysts, ever the optimists, failed to account for the usual suspects in pinstripes wielding regulatory sledgehammers. 🧨
The crackdown arrived like a surprise tax audit at a champagne brunch. Miners, already reeling from Bitcoin’s 30% plunge and meager transaction fees, now face a liquidity crisis that would make a Victorian novelist weep.
In conclusion: When a nation bans Bitcoin mining with the fervor of a Puritan sermon, and miners scatter like startled pigeons, the market reacts accordingly. A tragi-comedy, indeed. 🎭
