If mining becomes unprofitable (e.g., due to low BTC price, high energy costs, or post-halving), less efficient miners shut down. This reduces total hash rate (computing power).
• The network automatically adjusts difficulty every ~2 weeks (or 2016 blocks) to target ~10-minute block times. Lower hash rate → lower difficulty → easier for remaining miners to find blocks and earn rewards relative to their share.
• This weeds out high-cost operators while keeping the network running. Profitable miners (with cheap power, efficient hardware, or scale) continue, and the system stabilizes. Historical halvings and price drops have shown this dynamic repeatedly.
