Do you ever watch the outrage news & wonder when the world will end?

It's stuff like this that's gets me thinking how bitcoin could be attacked. As of last year 19% of hash power was publicly traded and only 5 major mining pools, it make me wonder how much more does the wild west of bitcoin has before corporate takeover & strict transaction regulations.

This article suggest a mining pool is debating ignoring transactions from certain addresses. Your 1st thought should be well more money for other pools. I suspect eventually contracts with corporate mining companies will have clauses to mining pools they use. You can expect publicly traded hash power will continue to take more of the hash power on the bitcoin blockchain. Eventually squeezing out tools people use to stay anonymous or restrict countries, political commentators or any undesirables for elite control.

As people cheer on the world to adopt bitcoin, I'm guessing this is Inevitable. People are wanting to be rich more than free...
