Could you elaborate on your point a bit please? How did you arrive at this conclusion?
How many people need to believe in a dream for it to stay alive, Newkid?
I don´t know (does anybody?) however, I do know that if you remove the small-to-medium miners the dream of decentralization evaporates and BTC might die once you remove that component because it is the involvement of the people that keeps it alive, just like you and me talking about it now. Would we still be talking about this if it was just another, cheaper version of VISA where 5 big companies do everything and we have no stake in it?
