I don't think you understand that centralizing network hash with ASICs is detrimental to network security.

I don't think you understanding anything about cryptocurrencies.

Have you heard about Bitcoin? It's the most secure crypto network, courtesy of ASICs.

It's scary that a decision so important was taken following a Reddit mob, or a secret committee of devs, with such a poor understanding of the matter.

Mining centralization hasn't made Bitcoin the most secure network, it's made it an easy target for China if they decide they want to disrupt the network--looking at hashing power in a vacuum is a pointless exercise as there are numerous factors that go into how secure a network is.

Also, the person you are addressing has forgotten more about cryptocurrencies than you know, or likely will ever know.

I agreed, he has probably forgotten a lot more than I could.

I am happy to learn that Bitcoin isn't the most secure network because you say so. You are an invaluable source of knowledge.

Bitcoin developers would make Bitcoin ASIC resistant if they could. But they cant since Bitcoin dont fork every half year to make needed upgrades. Sooner or latter Monero will not be ASIC resistant anymore. Lets hope that will not be so soon and lets hope ASIC market will mature until then.

The fact that Bitcoin devs cannot fork Bitcoin to change a core feature on a whim is one reason why Monero will never compete against Bitcoin on the monetary use case.

The fact that the devs can change the POW on Monero is a fucking disgrace and strongly diminish its long term expected value. I look forward to see their next unilateral change of a core protocol feature.

No the fact that this is possible is because Monero had forks every 6 months and until that will go on will be possible. Why that is possible, because Monero developers are not afraid of anyone to keep old fork alive as many other coins developers are.

BldSwtTrs if you like ASIC mined Monero you have it. It dont have few important upgrades but there it is. Support it and make it grow and donate or hire their developers to develop it further or at least copy/paste new Monero code there. You can do it. But all this is sort of offcopic here then. Dont say something is disgrace, just do it better and show the way with example.

BitcoinCash was created with disagreement on core features...
Shall I look forward on MoneroCash? Cool

Yes it was, but was not a fork by the core developers like Monero fork twice a year. They will not do it as ETH would not do it or ZCash.
