Julian Assange on a super power's inability to crush #Bitcoin :

“the full might of the superpower doesn’t help you smash a math problem. A math problem is a math problem, it’s something that’s connected to the intelligence of the universe or basic physics. It’s not something you can get at simply through overwhelming coercive power or lots of people.”

But the thing is mining is NOT a math problem. It is a brute force hash contest. It has literally nothing to do with "solving a complex math program". This starts about where I talk about this and show exactly how it works. Most people have adopted the MSM line about math problems, with all due respect to Assange, it isn't math.
