Currently, half of the mining machines cost over $80,000.

$btc The price is $67,300. The latest mining machine costs around $30,000.
So, will it drop to $30,000 by the end of the year for me to buy the dip?
Many people only focus on Bitcoin's price but overlook the underlying cost structure.
The shutdown price of mining machines represents the real cost miners pay to mine one Bitcoin in the real world. When the price drops to this range, mining is no longer a business but a money-burning activity.
Historically, whenever the price approaches or falls below the shutdown price, market sentiment is extremely pessimistic. Miners are forced to shut down, hash rates are cleared, and network difficulty adjusts. These invisible changes are often more honest than candlestick charts.
The shutdown price is not a buy-the-dip signal, but it reminds us: when even miners are under immense pressure, the market may not be far from the "emotional bottom."
Understanding costs is essential to truly understanding Bitcoin.
