Now the price of bitcoin (BTC) mining in Russia averages about $ 15 thousand, said Igor Runets, founder and CEO of BitRiver. For comparison: in North America, according to various sources, this figure is about $23 thousand, he explained.

Halving implies reducing the remuneration of miners for the extracted block by half, but taking into account the growing interest in the first cryptocurrency in the world and the growth of transaction fees, the cost of production, according to various forecasts, will reach $ 24 thousand in Russia, and $ 37 thousand in North America, Runets believes.

He noted that the Russian industrial mining industry has undeniable advantages over the United States. According to the expert, this is the presence of a significant amount of spare capacity, a predominantly cold climate and generally more attractive electricity prices. At the same time, according to Runts, Russia's energy balance is one of the "greenest" in the world due to the high proportion of hydroelectric power plants and nuclear power plants.
