Bitcoin Miners Struggle With Shrinking Profits Despite BTC Price Surge 

Alright, you degenerate gamblers, listen up! This AMBCrypto piece is whining about miners' shrinking profits. *Shrinking* profits! Like they're not still raking in cash hand over fist. So, difficulty's up, fees are down, boo-hoo. My question is, are these struggling miners just dinosaurs who haven't adapted? Is this consolidation actually a *good* thing, streamlining the network for the big players who know what they're doing? Or is it the beginning of the end for decentralized mining as we know it? Let's hear your hot takes, and don't bore me with the obvious. I want some real insight here.
