“Investing in Bitcoin is certainly a smart decision these days. It became quite popular among investors, and it has been the subject of many discussions. As the price of BTC keeps on going up, its value is expected to increase even more. In fact, there have been some predictions that within the next 10–15 years, Bitcoin’s worth will reach an incredible $1 trillion.”

In this blog post, we are going to answer all your questions about how much bitcoin miners make a day in 2022. We’re going to help you understand what can happen with bitcoin mining a year or two from now by exploring what might happen with the value of Bitcoin in 2022.

The amount of Bitcoin you can mine has to do with the number of transactions that are made on the network. There are a fixed amount of transactions, and people want to mine more Bitcoin in order to use it for their own purposes. And so, the more transactions that happen on the BTC network, the more mining power you need, which in turn means you’ll be able to make significantly more bitcoins.

What will happen with bitcoin mining a year or two from now?

Today’s average prices and values are taken from 1st December 2017–10th December 2017.

Bitcoin Average Price: $14,535.1

Last year the price of Bitcoin was about $1,000. People that invested in BTC last year made a ton of money because the price increased dramatically. And in no time at all, the worth of a bitcoin passed $10,000. In fact, there have been some predictions that within the next 10–15 years, Bitcoin’s worth will reach an incredible $1 trillion.

Today’s average prices and values are taken from 1st December 2017–10th December 2017.

What will happen with bitcoin mining a year or two from now?

Average Mining Income Per Day:$2,647.72

We’ve already established that the average price of Bitcoin has gone up from $1,000 to USD 11,000. Because miners earn around 25–35% of each transaction made on the network, we can calculate that the average miner would make about $2,500 US Dollars a day in 2017. If you can mine 1 Bitcoin per month (30 days), then you’re going to be making approximately USD 60,000 a month from mining alone. Now let’s take a look at what will happen with bitcoin mining in 2020.

Bitcoin Average Price: $70,105.7

At this point in time, even if you were to overpay by $10,000 for mining equipment, you’d still be making around $500 per day. This means that mining will still be very profitable. It’ll depend on how much you’ll be able to mine per day with your machines. In case BTC transaction fees take a larger portion of your rewards, then your daily profits could go down by a large percent. However, it’s likely that the number of transactions will continue to rise, so your daily profits shouldn’t decrease too much in a year or two from now.

We can forecast how much profit miners will make within the next few years using this Bitcoin Mining Calculator: https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/btc

The Bitcoin Mining Calculator allows you to input how much hash power (speed) you think you’ll have in the future, and it’ll show you how many bitcoins per month and per year you will make with your mining rig.

How many Bitcoins will I mine in a day?

In order to calculate how many bitcoin mining machines are needed in order to mine 1 Bitcoin per day in a year or two from now, we’re going to use the following formula: Daily Profit = (0.25 x Price of BTC — Cost of Equipment) / Days until 1 BTC is mined (0.25 means 25%)

Daily Profit = ($11,350 — $8,000) / 365 days (1 year) = ($2,250 / Year)

Daily Profit = ($2,250 / Year ) x 365 Days in a year = $727.5 per day. If a mining rig costs around $8,000, then you’ll need to invest around $8k in order to mine 1 Bitcoin in one year. Mining will still be very profitable in a few years. In fact, we believe that it’ll be even more profitable than it is today. However, it all depends on how much you’re going to be able to mine per day. If you invest in a high-quality GPU and ASIC miner rig today, then you should be capable of breaking even within a year. And that’s only if the value of Bitcoin doesn’t continue to increase by more than 20% annually.

Now let’s calculate how many Bitcoins 1MH/s worth.

1 MH/s is equal to 1000 KH/s = 1,000,000 H/s = 1000 GH/s = 1 TH/s (terahash per second) or 1 PH/S (petahash per second). These can also be called MHashes or KHashes. 1 MH is equal to 1,000 Mhash per second.

1 MHash (1 million hash) can be calculated as follows:

1 000 000 x 10⁹ = 1,000,000 TH/s or 1 GH/s = 1000 PH/s (petahash per second). For example, if you are paying $8K for a mining rig that has 1000 KH/s, then it would make you $8k a month. This means that the rig will pay for itself in less than half a year. Although the chances of having such a high hash rate are very low because it would be very expensive to have such equipment. The average hash rate for the average miner is approximately around 100kh/s.

Now let’s calculate how much Bitcoins 1 MH/s is worth today.

This formula will allow you to calculate how many Bitcoins a single machine can mine and at what speed.

For example, if a single machine can mine 1 Bitcoin in one year then: BTC per Year = $11,350 / [Speed of the machine] x 365 days = BTC per Month x (Speed of the Machine) / 30 days = BTC per Daily Equivalent. The result in this case would be $2,250 / [1 GH/s x 365 days] = $727.5 per day.

The speed of this machine would be 1 GH per day. This allows us to calculate how much money it would earn you per day. You’d get $727.5 per day or $30,885.5 a month from mining Bitcoin alone using this kind of rig.

How many Bitcoins can be mined in a year?

The last thing we need to do is convert the value of Bitcoin into different currencies. We’ll use USD to calculate how much BTC is worth within one year and in different years.

Using the same calculator from before, we can calculate different scenarios. For example, if a single machine can mine 1 Bitcoin in one month, then: BTC per Day = $11,350 / [Speed of the machine] x 30 days = BTC per Month x (Speed of the Machine) / 365 days = BTC per Daily Equivalent. The result in this case would be $2,650 / [1 GH/s x 30 days] = $569.6 per day.

The speed of this machine would be 1 GH per day. This allows us to calculate how much money it would earn you every single day. You’d get $569.6 per day or $17,954 a month from mining Bitcoin alone using this kind of rig.

Using this same calculator again, we can see how much Bitcoins will be worth in the future. For example, if a single machine can mine 1 Bitcoin in one year, then: BTC per Year = $11,350 / [Speed of the machine] x 365 days = BTC per Month x (Speed of the Machine) / 30 days = BTC per Daily Equivalent. The result in this case would be $3475 / [1 GH/s x 365 days] = $1342.50 per day.

The speed of this machine would be 1 GH per day. This allows us to calculate how much money it would earn you every single day. You’d get $1342.5 per day or $47,136 a month from mining Bitcoin alone using this kind of rig.

And that’s all that we need to know about Bitcoin Mining for starters. It’s going to be more profitable than ever in the future and with the price of Bitcoin going up at an increasing rate, things are looking very good for miners. The only thing that can possibly bring down this market is a large bug or vulnerability in the network, but only time will tell.

I highly encourage you to share this guide with your friends, especially if they’re thinking of getting into the Bitcoin business.

Total Bitcoins ever created since 2009: 16 million (15,983,600 BTC) / 4 years = 3,237 BTC per day (1% of total circulation — not in circulation).

Total Bitcoins left to be mined until all 21 million are created: 87.5% / 4 years = 325.5 days (1% of total circulation — not in circulation).

Daily production rate: 3,237 BTC / 325.5 days = 98.6 BTC per day (estimate).
