Hi @philipma1957 ,
miners do secure blockchains,
it does not matter what device is used.
The value of a coin does not come out of "how" it is mined.
Use case and adoption gives value.

And how many people can get an ASIC to become miners?
How many people can get gpus AND are willing to invest in them? AMD and nvidia inspires a hell of a lot more trust than Bitmain.
Can you say the next sentence with a straight face? BITMAIN IS A FIGHTER FOR DECENTRALIZATION.
Also for the main reason, immagine how much we can stick it to metroid
