its not just a mining game of who builds the biggest tower of blocks the fastest wins. where everyone then copies(like sheep) the fastest built tower..
=> but it is exactly like that.
(because there is no OTHER tower)
there are other towers.. you are just seeing it from the mid-endgame... you have not seen it from the start-midgame.
EG your only seeing the end result. you have not played out the scenarios from beginning to end
the reason there is now only one tower is because the diverse pools and nodes have learned their lessons. so you dont really see much drama of the different towers.
but now and again find out that they still have lessons to learn (orphans happen weekly)
