Owning a whole bitcoin in 2025 — a dream or reality?

It would seem that logic suggests: the higher the total hash rate of the network, the less chance a solo miner has against an army of industrial farms. But reality brings surprises. In July, another solo miner with a power of only 2.3 petahashes managed to obtain the full reward for a block. Similar cases were recorded in June, March, and February.
