In what way did ASICs coming to bitcoin hurt the value or usability of the coin?

By pushing many out from mining with GPU's. You just don't get it and you were NOT paying damn attention to his or my arguments. Go back and read them and you will have the answer to your damn question!

Dude... you need some chill pills.

What was his arguement? MORE people have access to GPU's than ASIC's. In fact, there are many countries that ban ASIC's. With more GPU's there would be more people laboring together and become more invested into the project while acting as missionaries for the project. The more a coin gets centralized by BIG ASIC mining companies, the less people there are who can even afford to invest into labor for the coin in the form of mining. Which gives no incentive to invest time and/or equity into the project and does NOT convert newcomers into a missionary for the project and ultimately help the project grow and become adopted much faster.

But you can't seem to understand and/or don't want to acknowledge this commonsense FACT he spells out in his argument (below).[/color]

What fact? All you and gghost have done is expressed an opinion that GPUs are more "decentralized," when that couldn't be further from the truth. You do know that there are massive, massive farms of GPUs out there, right?

You do know that a government banning something does not make a coin more decentralized, right?

What was my argument?

Quite simply a misplaced one.
