The Bitcoin network has unlocked yet another insane achievement—its cumulative hash count has officially surpassed the 2^96 mark! Vitalik Buterin, the creator of Ethereum, recently posted a tweet specifically about this, saying that this number is enough to prove that sticking to the 128-bit security standard is no exaggeration.

He even gave a special shoutout to Drake’s earlier assessment, saying that Drake saw this coming. In short, the data behind this milestone reflects the steady and solid growth trajectory of Bitcoin’s hash power over the years. The miners’ machines, running day and night, aren’t just boosting hash rate numbers—they’re also continuously strengthening the security defenses of the entire network.

Looking back now, this oldest public chain is still proving the strength of its moat in the most hardcore way.
