What do you think would happen in a BJA Commiepocalypse situation?
Most Bitcoin companies in China are as committed and decent as any bitcoiner (cue lambie), but I'm not comfortable with having to trust a socialist dictatorship to not interfere. They don't have to nationalize anything. That's what you do in a country when you are used to having to justify your actions. The chinese government will only have to make a few phone calls. I don't see why they would do such a thing, but again, I don't like having to trust them.
I agree with that. The problem is that they
could shut us down or pressure the miners to adopt some "features" that benefit the Sate. I don't know what those features may be, or even if they would bother us at all, but the fact that they can do it is contrary to the design and principles of Bitcoin.
you see if they have to add some "features" that the chinese gov wants its pretty easy and completely different from our problems at the moment. we would simply fork away. the reason we have so much discussion at the moment is just because both sides have arguments on their side, but in such a situation we would fork in 24h and thats it.
