Bitcoin recently experienced a glitch in block production, causing a significant delay of 88 minutes, preventing the mining of at least eight new blocks. This has raised concerns about the frequency of glitches this year and its impact on the Bitcoin price. The software engineer who highlighted the glitch noted that similar delays have occurred 21 times in 2025 alone. Experts suggest that these glitches might be caused by congestion, low profitability for miners, or changes in network conditions. Some experts believe that the glitch highlights the need for updates on the Bitcoin blockchain by core developers. However, there are differing opinions, with some users claiming that Bitcoin never goes down like other blockchains. Despite the different views, experts agree that repeated long block times raise concerns about network stability. The difficulty of Bitcoin mining has also been increasing, and adding delays in block production could further impact the ecosystem. As of now, Bitcoin block production has continued without issues.
