judging by poster comments, its very sad to see the level of idiocy reigning
so let me point the obvious out to you
an asic farm can be afforded only by those with hundreds of thousands of dollars to spare for such an investment with a high risk of algo change rendering their asic machines useless
do you have hundreds of thousands of dollars to spare? probably not as you belong to the majority of miners/users which have a small to medium size mining operation based on GPU mining and depend on low difficulty to make it profitable for you
add the asic cancer on any network and you transform it to a few large miners instead of many small ones
this is the very definition of centralisation, forget about 51% attack, this is irrelevant to the small to medium miner that was supporting the network.
As well as difficulty shooting sky high, coin price gets battered as the asic miners exchange their mining to btc/fiat etc daily, something that small miners generally do not do.
its not about securing a network, that is a bullshit excuse,
CRYPTOCURRENCY IS MEANT TO BE DECENTRALISED, BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE
otherwise it can become a phycho-demented new world order detritus feeder parasitic cancerous central banker wet dream of complete and irreversible financial control thus population control,
with banks like the bank of england (english equivalent of the fed, everybody has one like a heart valve) investing heavily into asic machine mining farms in their basements taking control of coins like Ripple (XRP), which is an ACTUAL and very REAL example (do not ask how I know, just look at the evidence)
wake the fuck up people, crypto is not about making phoney fiat money to pay for their allowance to a dignified life
crypto is about breaking the bond currently binding humanity into this non perceived slavery, where they (=a few non accountable private central wankers) create pentillions of phoney digital promises with no limitations or checks compounding inflation on top of taxation on top of interest to make sure YOU can NEVER escape their MORT-GAUGE which means DEATH GRIP in French.
We are revolutionaries not hap hazard miners looking to make an extra worthless buck.
Asic is synonymous to killing the revolution before it grows completely out of wanker (central planner) control
Short sighted uncultivated morons is what these sub human parasitic filth want of you, making you an unwitting accomplice to their diabolical plan of complete self admitted dominance over your sovereign existence (death grip)
what does all that have to do with Sumo?
enough with chewing food for you, think for yourself what a completely anonymous DECENTRALISED value exchange system does to their (central planners) centuries long plan
decide what you are, cannon fodder plebian or a revolutionary? and act accordingly
