Has the Bitcoin halving significantly altered the economic landscape for miners? How has the reduction in block rewards impacted their profitability? Are miners still incentivized to continue mining, despite the halved rewards? What strategies, if any, have miners adopted to compensate for the decreased income? Have mining pools seen a change in their membership or operations as a result of the halving? What are the long-term implications of this event on the sustainability of mining as a profession?
