Additionally, we are seeing the beginning of the emergence of a pleb mining pool (
https://web.public-pool.io) that is likely to continue to grow even if only as a hobby project.
The more transactions that are censored, the greater the incentive for fees to rise which incentivizes more miners to come online and add those transactions to the blockchain
IMHO, all this shows is that OFAC is scared of bitcoin but they can't really do anything to stop it.
Good luck spending power if major pools decide to reject those blocks . And i really wonder , for how long will those miners are willing to burn money until they find out that they can't do anything ?
You should study how bitcoin works , and Antonopoulos isn't the best source . You are the only one that can question how the structure of the network is made , stop believing others .
As for stratum V2 that some like , you will find out that sooner or later it leads to the same model . There's no way way out , like in hotel California
