2025 has ended, and a new year has begun. This note summarizes the key data and insights from the past year's mining operations.
From the beginning to the end of the year, the mining industry experienced many changes—price fluctuations, electricity cost pressures, hardware iterations, and network difficulty adjustments. Reviewing these data points, we can see which strategies were effective and identify areas that need optimization.
At the same time, this article also looks ahead to 2026. The new year's mining environment will be more competitive, but opportunities are also present. Whether it's Bitcoin mining, Ethereum staking, or other PoW/PoS projects, it is necessary to reassess the return cycles and risk factors.

Regarding the 25-year data review, I am most concerned about electricity costs. It seems everyone is silently competing in computing power.

In 2025, the electricity bills will eat you alive. Listen to how you optimize it.

After that wave of market last year, electricity costs really ate up most of the profits. Now I have to think about how to survive in 2026.

2025 will wipe out everything, just waiting to see how you turn things around

2025 really raised people's blood pressure, the feeling of electricity bills dancing together with the coin prices... Looks like you need to be very clear-headed with this ledger of yours.

It's a close call, but ultimately it depends on who has cheaper electricity costs.

25 years really wear people out, the electricity bill is a huge pressure
Difficulty adjustments never stop, gotta think about how to survive in 26 years
Data review is indeed necessary, but more importantly, it's about execution
Staking and PoW need to be planned simultaneously; playing with just one is too risky
It's really competitive, but it won't kill you, right

The data speaks for itself: after 25 years of mining, it's truly competitive to the extreme. Those who didn't control their electricity costs should have gone bankrupt by now.
