It can be abstract to picture the speed of the bitcoin network in terahash, so what if we picture it as flows of water?
Drinking Straw
1 TH/s
A drinking straw might allow water to flow at about 0.0001 cubic meters per second (m³/s). Given the small scale, it's the most basic level of computational power in Bitcoin mining.
Shower Head
80 TH/s
A typical shower head might flow at about 0.008 m³/s. If we maintain the same ratio as the straw, this could represent a small-scale individual mining setup.
Garden Hose
300 TH/s
A standard garden hose might have a flow rate of around 0.03 m³/s. Using the same analogy, this scale is a more serious individual mining operation.
Fire Hose
50,000 TH/s (50 PH/s)
A fire hose can have a flow rate around 0.5 m³/s. In our analogy, this scale is typical for a larger, more industrial mining operation.
Bridal Veil Falls, Yosemite, USA
500,000 TH/s (500 PH/s)
Bridal Veil Falls has an estimated flow rate of about 5 m³/s. In our analogy, this scale represents a significant, industrial-scale mining operation.
Niagara Falls, USA
240,000,000 TH/s (240 EH/s)
Niagara Falls has a tremendous flow rate, approximately 2,400 m³/s. Using our analogy, this represents the enormous scale of mining across multiple continents.
Inga Falls, Congo River
2,577,000,000 TH/s (2,577 EH/s)
One of the world's most powerful waterfalls, Inga Falls average flow rate of 25,768 m³/s represents almost 5 times today's global network hashrate of 540 TH/s!
