Ist schwierig zu bewerten. Vor allem deshalb, weil diese grossen Miner ihre Kapazität nicht (komplett) selber stellen, sondern von anderen Leuten zur Verfügung gestellt bekommen und ihnen dafür etwas bezahlen. Ich vermute, viele davon tauschen die BTC zeitnah in Fiat, müssen das machen - um ihre Kosten zu decken und/oder weil sie einfach kein Interesse an Bitcoin haben.

Sicher? Ich kaufe immer mehr hashrate
Gibt es mehr und mehr Gläubige

auch die Preise auf hashnest schwanken dann ja
geht weiter um die welt

Such a product could potentially help decrease price volatility for the cryptocurrency, which has a current market cap of $16.1bn.

Competitive ecosystem
While LedgerX may indeed achieve a series of industry firsts, it is by no means alone in offering bitcoin swaps.
...
A more stable bitcoin?
The result of an increasingly diverse derivatives market could be a less volatile bitcoin price, according to Chou and other industry observers.
