Thanks for your input, I postulated this idea with the intent of it being trashed.
Personally, I'm not on board with the (hidden) agenda that is being promoted as climate change, the crap about bitcoin mining and energy use that has been pushed into the consciousness of the general public through the MSM has been incessant. However I do know that potential institutional investors experience great difficulties getting Bitcoin onto their balance sheets in a squeaky clean way due to their legal departments insistence on adhering to the corporate governance stuff.
I did not really have any problem with the ideas that you presented in that earlier post in terms of being composed of the various kinds of incentives that are being imposed and propagandized in various mainstream systems. I do not claim to be any kind of expert on the topic, either, so maybe both of us are working out our ideas in terms of what could play out.
Yet, in any event, I am still struggling with any kind of assumption that bitcoin miners would want to play that game when they likely do not have to. Yeah, sure we have seen some virtual signaling from some miners from time to time including the one recently that asserted that it was OFAC compliant - to the extent that it is even possible to make such assertion and not to suffer some repercussions in bitcoinlandia...
But sure, there are all kinds of things that governments like and will likely attempt to push onto bitcoin, but they still might have a lot of challenges to get them into bitcoin's practices, procedures and decentralized incentives systems, and I am not even claiming that we can detach ourselves from various traditional banking rules (not yet anyhow) so yeah, there might even be BIGGER battles in the future - and even though the environmental battle seems to currently working, it does not seem to be one that is going to play out well in terms of the truth of the matter asserted or even any kind of meaningful abilities to impose such bullshit on bitcoin because like I already said, bitcoin seems way the fuck more energy efficient than other systems, and sure some shitcoins like ethereum may want to proclaim that they are more energy friendly, but who fucking cares.. ethereum is just made up shit, anyhow, even assuming that they move to an even more made up system that they proclaim to be better than proof of work (referring to the proof of stake pump and dump shenanigans scam of course).
This is probably out of place in the WO thread (might feel unprofessional for those who like to stay emotionally detached from their commodities).
Bitcoin is the future regardless if it is valued at USD $1 or $100,000. This is a fully developed world wide system which allows anyone to have a wallet, to be their own bank with access to every transaction ever made, stored securely in an immutable blockchain, and completely independent from any banking or regulation system.
Personally I want to support Bitcoin as a system, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, owning BTC is part of that. For those of you who are too daft to see the potential, or too shortsighted due to greed in their speculation schemes, then by all means sell now.
Bitcoin is a major invention; what the printing press did by spreading the written word, what the internet did to connect all of us, this is the technology to replace our banks and currencies eventually. In the meantime there will be a lot of friction from powerful people, especially from those involved in our old financial institutions, it's been a battle since Bitcoin started in 2009.
I don't see anything wrong or out of place by such a statement... and maybe part of the key of your point is that some of these matters take a while.. and I would also like to say that bitcoin is successful as fuck, like you seem to suggest, even if its price is quite low (such as $1), but I really doubt that it's price is going to be going to such low levels, even if all of the governments were to make it illegal (which is hardly a game theory that anyone with even half a brain should expect to even be within reasonable possibilities - even long shot possibilities).
