Just like it was dead back in 2012. And again there's gonna pop up another ASIC-proof cryptoalgorithm and we will switch to it. :-)
Agree with this. Decentralisation - is not the base pillar of the mining but all cryptocurrency. We have bitcoin because it's the first. Other coins that are mined by asics or just issued by founders should go to hell. Earlier or later
Bitcoin will have to change pow algo too in the future and that will render asics useless but since btc core dev team is bitmain and co's employee, bitcoin core dev will make an algo which bitmain will already have an asic for it, will be a joint operation --> bitcoin core devs and bitman. Bitcoin is doomed.
I do not like bitcoin too, but bitcoin is the first coin, and it will be first for a long time. Otherwise, ethereum is only on of altcoins. Switching to POS will kill it.
