Bitcoin mining difficulty represents how much time does it take to solve a cryptographic puzzle, in other words — to find the correct hash for a block. Mining difficulty changes over time, which means it can decrease or increase depending on various factors.
Over the last two weeks, mining difficulty for Bitcoin rose up to 16.99%. This happened due to a block height of 760,032, which is the highest record for the Bitcoin network.
