During the Oct 10-13, 2025 flash crash (BTC from $126K to $104K on Trump tariff fears), Bitcoin's hash rate dipped ~5-7% from ~950 EH/s to ~880 EH/s, per Glassnode/CoinMetrics data, as marginal miners powered down amid hashprice falling to ~$50/PH/day.This minor drop temporarily weakens network security: lower hash rate raises 51% attack risk (cost drops ~$2-3B) and may slow confirmations if fees don't surge. Yet, difficulty adjusts in ~2 weeks, and resilience holds—no major threats seen.
