Bitcoin hit another all time high in difficulty and hashrate. Computation resulting in 76 coin flips in a row is needed to solve a block (19 leading hexadecimal zeros).

Nice perspective on the coin flips. Never looked at difficulty this way, and I don’t think I ever will again 😅
It's kind of crazy to think about. Fun fact: we've had an INCREDIBLE (God like) lucky block that would have solved a block that needed 97 coin flips in a row which is 500,000 times the currently difficulty. And this was way back in block #756951. The miner was 5 trillion times luckier than average to find this block. Good luck explaining that (impossible)
Also that block had 24 leading zeros when it only needed 19
