At time of this thread.
www.fork.lol suggests next difficulty adjustment in about 18 hours and expected to to be decreased about 2%
2% drop in difficulty is nothing really!
With a pump in BCH happening it's safe to assume that the assault on BTC is not finished.
it is never finished, it just changed form.
If they can combine their resources it is a possibility that the BTC transactions could be unconfirmed for an unlimited time. If difficulty is adjusted upwards in 18 hours then BTC would have a problem.
this doesn't make any sense!
you say that website is predicting difficulty to drop then you say "if it goes up"!
besides if difficulty drops, that means it becomes easier to mine bitcoin. more blocks are going to be found, more blocks mine more transactions, less transactions in the mempool, smaller backlog, and we will have lower fees.
not that it matters though, because it is being "adjusted" to match the hashrate that exists meaning there will be 1 block per 10 minute that is supposed to be mined. and as i said 2% is nothing.
