Bitcoin Hash Rate Hits New ATH while Exchange Outflow Rate Spikes

The Bitcoin bull run driven by MicroStrategy is only getting strong with thought leadership from Michael Saylor who is leading by example.

• From an investor point of view rise in Bitcoin hash rate is healthy as it indicates more and more miners are joining Bitcoin Mining and are using efficient hardware to mine Bitcoins. Bitcoin hash rate hit an all time high last time on Oct. 18th, 2020 hitting 162.263 Million Tera hashes per second and it spiked to 179.19 EH/s today. Max Keiser who is praised by Bitcoin community for predicting correct long term Bitcoin price is also follower of “price follows Hash” theory. 

#bitcoin's hash rate briefly hit 179.19 EH/s this morning, a new ATH in a trend that is undeniably upwards. It was 3.06 EH/s when I first started mining "proper" !

MicroStrategy & Michael Saylor Leading by Example for crypto adoption

MicroStrategy is vocal about Bitcoin since the beginning of Bitcoin bull run in October 2020 and have till date bought 71,079 Bitcoins ~$2.6 Billion. They are leading by example and have even made their Bitcoin playbook public for corporates who may want to invest in Bitcoin. Michael Saylor once even suggested Tesla CEO Elon Musk to move Tesla Balance sheet to Bitcoin.

And, the efforts of MicroStrategy and Michael Saylor seem to pay off.

Elon Musk post debate with Michael Saylor has shown keen interest in Bitcoin and updated his twitter bio with Bitcoin for a while. He also regretted not buying Bitcoin earlier in a club house discussion.

As described in the above Bitcoin fundamentals as well as on-chain metrics is only getting more bullish as days are progressing. MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Playbook seems to be working and it’s just time, that institutional FOMO kicks.
