I have a techie friend who explained to me why it worked and that was sufficient.

Recently heard someone discussing the risk of centralized mining pools. Is this a big risk? Or is it such that at different phases of maturation different risks appear, but game theory incentives mitigate this risk? Seemed like the latter to a non techie

Not really. It’s fud of ppl trying to sound smart. There is plenty of untapped cheap energy yet to be plugged in. That is what they used to fud with Chinese miners. Mining is a brutally competitive business where the best tech and the cheapest energy wins. It will become a national security issue where nation states will all compete for it/ subsidize the costs like infosec. China shot themselves in the foot heavy by being commies and not having foresight

Thanks for clarification

Property rights were the key. All the human capital and capital flowed out of commie China and into freedom loving America for a reason. This is something the orange pillers that love China / communism and hate America would have never anticipated

The best and the brightest will always be attracted to freedom. That’s the most important thing.

Also this has been gaslit into history by now but all the orange pillers and influencers were 100% sure China role never ban miners, since they had not yet lolllll
