Check Bitcoin's hash rate (net computing power) in a linear graph...


Now in a logarithmic graph...


It's topped out, like the power curve of a 4-cylinder engine.  Maxxing out engine RPM paradoxically produces less power.


A couple explanations... it could be profitability declining to zero.  As profitability falls, there less incentive to buy hardware and a flatline implies no future profit.

It might be an intrinsic bottleneck in physical infrastructure, like it is for a gas engine. A physical limit has been reached.

Either way, it sets a limit on Bitcoin's future.

Now look at Bitcoin accumulation by miners.  I nabbed this graph from the Bitcoinist, panic selloffs by miners are red boxes, one during a big selloff, the other during the attempted panic rally.  That's monetary distress.   I added the yellow line...  miners aren't holding Bitcoin anymore, they're selling it as fast as they mine it.  Another distress signal.
