I find it funny how all talk about decentralization, but ignore the fact that most mining is in China, a known bastion of freedom.
Yesterday it made illegal movies depicting homosexuality or one night stands. Tomorrow it might decide to make bitcoin mining illegal (as it has forbidden some forms of bitcoin trading in the past)
- Nutmog 11y agoAll kinds of silly things are illegal in China, even copyright infringement, but that doesn't mean the police are breaking down people's doors and confiscating their computers. People flagrantly do many of the illegal things anyway. So I'd say, yes China really is a bastion of freedom - just a different kind of freedom than what westerners think. Economic freedom, rather than political freedom.
