PANews reported on December 2nd that, according to the latest data from F2Pool, with the current electricity price at $0.06 per kilowatt-hour, most older Bitcoin mining rigs have fallen below their shutdown price, entering a period of widespread losses. Data shows that the shutdown price for models such as Antminer S19, S19j, S19 Pro, S17 series, Avalon A13/A12 series, and Whatsminer M20/M30 series is generally around $90,000 to $100,000 or higher, with negative daily net profits, approaching or reaching shutdown levels. In comparison, the new generation of high-efficiency liquid-cooled models still have a clear advantage. Among them, the Antminer S23 Hyd. series has a shutdown price of about $32,200 and is currently still maintaining a positive return; the shutdown price of models such as S21 XP Hyd. is in the range of $40,000 to $50,000, and its risk resistance is significantly higher than that of the outdated models. Industry insiders believe that with the network difficulty remaining high and the efficiency gap between mining machines widening, this cycle is accelerating the "stratification" of mining machines, and outdated models are finding it difficult to maintain profitability under current market conditions.PANews reported on December 2nd that, according to the latest data from F2Pool, with the current electricity price at $0.06 per kilowatt-hour, most older Bitcoin mining rigs have fallen below their shutdown price, entering a period of widespread losses.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For
The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
