More miners => more secure => more confidence => more users => higher price => more miners => ...
This is the reality.
BTC Miners => 4 Mining Pool operators = security is dependent on 4 guys with over 51% attack vector.
No matter the energy waste the btc miners give 4 guys a 51% attack potential every day.
LTC also has a mere 4 guys with a 51% attack potential,
which is why coins that have more than 4 guys are more secure than your PoW pooling coins.
FYI:
Wind_Fury is so clueless, he thinks running a non-mining node can earn him money.
