[Iranian Anti-Government Protests Could Impact BTC Hashrate] BeInCrypto reported that anti-government protests in Iran could impact not only the local mining industry but also the Bitcoin network. Iran is known to account for 2-4% of the global BTC hashrate. The outlet explained, "While miners themselves won't immediately shut down, a decline in operational efficiency is inevitable. This could lead to a temporary drop in the global hashrate. The collapse of the local currency has fueled the growing anti-government protests, and the authorities' actions have also significantly increased uncertainty for the Iranian mining industry." -Coinness
