Have you tried to calculate how many ASICs Intel needs to release in order to perform a 51% attack? Or do you think that mining pools will support a 51% attack and then lose their business?
It's probably cheaper for them to ban bitcoin by law.
Who cares if mining pools will support this or not, a 51% attack is a 51% attack, create your pool, turn your asics on and create the hashrate till you hit 51%, remember the more hashrate the less profitable btc is because the more difficulty, so in reality will get a point where others will stop mining because there is no profit and a 51% attack to whoever will be much easier because they can mine at loss, others who are entirely in for profit will stop mining, remember hashrate only increase because it has profit in there, if no profit it will not increase, whoever wants to kill btc dont care about profit.
these are what is needed to do that:
- someone has to have a computing tech (where it can't be available to miners(private or company))
- electricity facility/ties to waste
other factors (price related):
- bitcoin diminishing rewards is making BTC ...scarce
- peasants already into BTC a lot already wanted it ...scarce
- non-peasants wanted more BTC ..scarce
scarce that is wanted makes the price increase.. justifying mining whether you mine .01xx that is like around 100$ in the past or .002xx that will becomes 100$ right now
I remember when China banned crypto mining, I thought it will affect crypto honestly because China has the biggest hashrate on BTC and ETH but in just a matter of weeks the power was shifted elsewhere, Metroid try to learn from this, BTC mining difficulty is insanely big, this is not a small thing that a country can mess with, they will waste too much of money and power.
What do I have to learn from this? I dont get your point but the more difficulty it is the less profit it is, so in turn people will stop mining and that will make things easier for whoever wants that 51% attack. I really dont understand why you trolls think is so hard to do a 51% attack on btc or any other coin, is not, it's easy but for "political reasons" they don't do anything till a new world order is created ehhe and that is not a conspiracy theory eheh, it's the truth. You will do what they want you to do ehhe. The truth is, the same thing goes for political power, if you elect 51% of a party they will control that place, in society the same thing, actually everything in life is like that. Look at the US senate, parties always try to get the majority in the house which is 51% hehe to control it. A new world order just needs 51% of the world population to side with them then destroy the other 49% then gameover your freedom and everything.
yup new world order is coming with their CBDC's (central bank digital currencies).
if it is the "whole world" order then things will get ugly but if it is only a "few" countries in their "world order", they will probably have not enough time if crypto wins first as money in "digital realm"
exiting times...of course i'll side with crypto for a lot of reasons..you can't be a shitcoiner with CBDC coins LOL
