miners have earned a total of more than $71 billion, but roughly every four years, an event occurs that halves the revenue from mining new blocks. Most recently, in April, the value of bitcoin plummeted and miners' rewards dropped from 6.25 #BTC to 3.125 BTC.
According to Blockchain. com, as of Dec. 22, miners earned $42 million, down from more than $100 million in April.

What is Tesla's trajectory in 2025 after the Trump enthusiasm subsides - Tokenist

Three weeks ago, we argued that Tesla's stock rise was temporary due to the Trump and Musk alliance. At the time, TSLA's stock price was $487 compared to $396 today.
however, #Tesla stock has returned 63% in three months. That's well above the 2.9% of the S&P 500 Index (SPX) and the 5.5% of the Nasdaq 100 Index (NDX) over the same period.

This has been a lifesaver for Tesla, as the Biden administration quadrupled such tariffs through 2024, and the tariff-oriented Trump administration is expected to raise tariffs further.
In other words, Tesla's cyber truck experiment got a reprieve thanks to tariffs. Tariffs have given Tesla's cyber truck experiment a reprieve. However, in the long run, Tesla will have to strengthen its #core business model with cheaper EV models. In addition, Tesla's reputation is largely based on its autonomous driving potential.
