I quoted for a reason.
In case it gets deleted I have a few copies in my pm's.
Love the argument but off topic I want to save it for reference.
Here goes counter point:
once ltc was invented btc lost it's unique status.
All pow coins are simply commodities to be traded like stocks.
All pos coins are figments of imagination actually worse then mined coins.
Only one coin attempts to be unique and resist asic mining xmr and the problem is the algo can be used by other coins.
So after play and mining and really pushing crypto coins as a storage of wealth for years. I gave up as The game is done on many levels.
I mine and sell and convert to fiat. Basically because of the argument you are giving. My piece of the pie will never affect the industry as I will never be at 1% of any big coin. But I have enough gear and cheap enough power to make money at this.
I do Hold 1 coin doge I have more then 1 million of them.
I saw btc go from 6 to 20,000 a factor of 3333x. It is now at 7,200 it will never do 3333 x 7,200 = 23,997,600 usd
No crypto coin will do 3333x what it is now if it is pow via asic and clonal it is basically an alt. So since I see no way to rescue pow coins and go back to the 'good' old days I have adapted.
I will use my low power and make a small certain profit that way.
Thats why I purchased the t17+ with a coupon since no one else will offer a price that good and get the gear to me in under 10 days.
Do I like it no I do not. But last year when what's miner was selling the m10 at I good price i purchased them.
If they offer the m30s at a good price I would buy some they don't.
MY only edge is a good power price. If I have to buy from bitmain I will, Since I don't see POW lasting more then 10 years I think the 2028 ½ ing will deal the industry a death blow. BTW so does bitmain which is why they have done exactly what you are complaining about.
If you figure a way to stop them let us know.
