Replying to Avatar Hanshan

Bitcoin is better than Monero because there is a HUGE amount of energy invested in protecting the network and ensuring that blocks are produced according to the consensus rules.

The amount of energy invested in Monero is a drop in the bucket in comparison. Not to mention the ready availability of mining hardware.

Playing devils advocate here

but there are *always* tradeoffs.

Well, this huge amount of energy is centralized isn't ? Can average people have significant impact on the network security or it's only big farms ?

like I said

tradeoffs

You can have an immutable chain that's virtually unfuckwithable,

if the energy is somewhat centralized.
