As Bitcoin mining is partially controlled by Chinese miners, I have a feeling that sometime in the near future, Bitcoin can become centralized if no solution against this is proposed.

If BTC could manage to bring a solution towards mining centralization by preventing mining pools with the most hashrate to effectively gain control of the network, then it would aim to become more decentralized over the years.
 
As mining difficulty increases and new ASIC hardware gets developed, it would make it less possible for any average user to mine Bitcoin, thus making it more centralized each day.

Nevertheless, I would like to know your opinion about this, as if BTC becomes centralized, it might cause it to decrease in value, and most of all, violate the principles that it was created for.  Smiley


Not sure anyways. Bitcoin I think Will  never become centralized. It Will always be decentralized. The situation is  that in every blocked  many people owns it. In every single blocked  many companies have using it and so many members onto it anonymously . So How  to become centralized when the features  is decentralized?  I think a lot of processing by talking  millions of people around the world  who are adopting Bitcoin.
