Hypothetical situation: The Chinese government pays miners to attack the network, and threatens those who don't comply with prison time. Wouldn't it be rational for Chinese miners to engage in the attack? I think so...
IT IS irrational. Sacrificing the fundamental nature of their business, ending it, and all potential future profits by being corrupted is rational?
Are you just trolling?
We're talking about a situation where the government is physically co-opting mining farms and threatening miners with prison time. Business concerns went out the window a long time ago...
Then do you truly believe that we should start clamoring for a POW-change? The Chinese government can do it anytime they want, you know.
