That's right, but with how well known Bitcoin is known now compared to 2009, a temporary period of decentralised mining will exist.
Early bitcoin usage was a small user base oligarchy.
That's my point, it won't be now, as millions of Bitcoin users would mine instead of only Satoshi, Hal and Ray Dillinger (as it was in 2009).
Difficulty will increase, and people will still point their miners at mining pools.
And mining was still less centralised when pools first came about than it is today. Besides, using tree-chains instead of linear chains could solve that problem, either for a p2pool share-chain or for the actual blockchain itself. This is about cutting out the cancer, not the full course of chemo, which comes later.
One mans tyrant is another mans protector of freedom.
The current miners are only protecting themselves.
Out. They will be gone.
