That’s not the danger, as I understand it, of a 51% attack. The danger is an entity (government/ hackers etc) seizing the hashpower of those 50 miners (which is getting even more centralised over time) and then forcing a change to the base layer.

It’s 50 entities, a lot operating under the laws of one jurisdiction. There are 100 times more fiat banks in the USA than that

Sure. How would governments survive if we only used bitcoin? How would they raise tax revenue? What about power/ internet outages that shut down wallets? What if the bitcoin baselayer was hacked? How will miners survive after all coins are mined? What if the US govt seized 51% hashing power from large US based miners and did a 51% attack? If govts just made bitcoin illegal and retroactively capital gains taxed citizens

Please, call me out. That’s how we learn. This is my entire point

Thanks for the advice. You’ll get more followers if you learn proper grammar: ‘Always remember , there's more then one way’ > should be there’s more ‘than’ one way

Maybe you can convert to a cigarette standard in there.

I’m not so sure. Everyone on here is so sold on bitcoin, like it has no issues and will resolve everything. These kind of people won’t make it stronger, they just look like fanatics and scare people away.

If you chose to spend all your money on bitcoin you won’t have fiat to pay tax and will end up in jail.
