Hash rate is the most cited number in Bitcoin and almost everyone misreads it. At the Bitcoin 2026 Conference Energy stage, Evertas's Mike Segal delivers one of the year's most intellectually rigorous keynotes on what Bitcoin's hash rate actually measures, why it's inferred not measured, and why under stress the network's recovery curve, capital half-life, and correlation failures matter far more than any aggregate number. Required viewing for anyone underwriting Bitcoin mining risk, insurance, or security.
