比特币难度最终会为矿工提供休息

链上数据显示，比特币难度将在前四次上升后看到即将进行的调整下降。

On-chain data shows the Bitcoin (BTC) Difficulty is set to see a drop in the upcoming adjustment after having gone up the previous four times.

链上数据显示，比特币（BTC）的难度设置为在前四次上升后即将进行的调整下降。

The “Difficulty” refers to a feature present on the Bitcoin blockchain that defines how hard the miners would find it to mine a block. The network changes its Difficulty in automatic adjustments that occur about every two weeks.

“难度”是指比特币区块链上存在的功能，该功能定义了矿工会发现它为挖掘一个区块的难度。网络改变了大约每两周发生一次自动调整的困难。

This feature exists on the network to achieve one task: keep the block production stable around 10 mins per block. “Block production time” here is the time that the miners take to mine a block of the cryptocurrency.

该功能存在于网络上以完成一项任务：保持块生产稳定在每个街区10分钟左右。 “块生产时间”这是矿工们开采加密货币块的时候。

Miners on the BTC network perform their duty by leveraging computing power. As such, whenever they expand their facilities, they become faster at their task. But due to the Difficulty’s existence, this speed increase is only temporary.

BTC网络上的矿工通过利用计算能力来履行职责。因此，每当他们扩展设施时，他们就会变得更快。但是由于存在困难，这种速度的提高只是暂时的。

Whenever the miners deviate from the standard block production rate, the network takes action in the next adjustment and changes the Difficulty just enough to bring the validators back to the usual pace. The adjustment can be both positive and negative, depending on whether the miners are performing their task at a faster or slower rate.

每当矿工偏离标准块生产率时，网络都会在下一个调整中采取行动，并改变了足以将验证者带回通常的速度的困难。根据矿工是以更快的速度或较慢的速度执行任务，调整可能是正面和负面的。

The next Bitcoin Difficulty adjustment is estimated to occur this Sunday, at around 1:30 AM UTC. Here are the details regarding this event, according to data from CoinWarz:

据估计，下一个比特币难度调整将在UTC上午1:30左右发生。根据Coinwarz的数据，以下是有关此事件的详细信息：

As is visible above, the average Bitcoin block time has stood at 10.50 minutes recently, which means the miners have been slower than required. To correct for this, the network is expected to decrease the Difficulty by nearly 5%.

如上可见，最近的平均比特币块时间在10.50分钟处，这意味着矿工的速度比要求的要慢。为此，预计该网络将使难度降低近5％。

During each of the last four adjustments, the chain raised the metric, so this upcoming decline would put an end to the streak. As mentioned before, the Difficulty is merely a reaction to what the miners are doing. Thus, these trends in the Difficulty can be traced back to the trend in the Hashrate, an indicator that measures the total amount of computing power employed by the miners.

在最后四个调整中的每个调整中，链条都提高了度量，因此即将下降的下降将终止连胜。如前所述，困难仅仅是对矿工在做什么的反应。因此，难度的这些趋势可以追溯到哈希酸盐的趋势，该指标可以衡量矿工使用的计算能力总量。

Below is a chart from Blockchain.com that shows the data for the 7-day average of the Bitcoin Hashrate over the past year.

以下是BlockChain.com的图表，显示了过去一年比特币的7天平均值的数据。

From the graph, it’s apparent that the 7-day average of the Bitcoin Hashrate was witnessing some sharp growth earlier, but its value has observed a plunge recently.

从图表中，很明显，比特币的7天平均值较早目睹了一些急剧的增长，但其价值最近观察到了一次跌落。

Whenever the Hashrate rises, things become harder for the individual miners. This is because of the fact that the Difficulty goes up whenever this happens, ensuring that any revenue increases due to higher computing power are nullified.

每当哈希拉特上升时，对于单个矿工来说，事情都会变得更加困难。这是因为每当发生这种情况时的困难就会上升，从而确保由于较高的计算能力而增加任何收入。

Thus, the same revenue is now competed for by a larger pool of computing power. Miners that can’t increase their individual power at the same rate as the network increase naturally fall behind the competition.

因此，现在较大的计算能力竞争相同的收入。与网络增加自然落后于竞争的矿工，无法以相同的速度增加个人权力。

As such, it’s not uncommon to see the Hashrate cool down after a large jump in the Difficulty. The recent plunge in the metric may also have taken place because some miners could have been unable to cope with the multiple consecutive spikes in the Difficulty.

因此，在困难大大跳跃之后，看到哈希拉特冷却并不少见。该度量标准中最近的暴跌也可能发生了，因为一些矿工可能无法应付困难中的多个连续峰值。
