> **Visual Context:** The chart shows BTC's 30-day mean hash rate (orange) alongside BTC price (black) from 2016 to 2026, highlighting two major decline events: China's 2021 mining ban (41% hash rate drop, 7 months to recover) and the current 2026 selloff to AI firms (21% decline, TBD recovery), illustrating that the ongoing miner restructuring may represent the largest industry shakeup since the China crackdown.

> "While everyone focuses on Saylor's next move, the Bitcoin mining industry is currently undergoing its largest restructuring since China banned mining in 2021. 

The question is whether the worst of the selling is over, or whether the miner capitulation is just kicking into gear."
