hypothetically not at all coins , i mean , did u believe all of that coins is really users coins ?
since many many exchange have their own coins , such as binance with BNB , and people buy that BNB using BTC, since i am quite sure not all BNB on market is from users.

Bitcoin doesn't even focus on the decentralization because it's already decentralized. Bitcoin needs focus to the development of the scalability solution and no more. As bitcoin itself has already considered to be utility coin. Blockchain is necessarily caused by it has become the core of the crypto to run its own network. Blockchain is a critical part from the crypto. you must understand it better.

if asked to choose between the two, I prefer decentralization because that is the main purpose of bitcoin made by satoshi, yes even though developing blockchain technology, but still the main goal is to decentralize everything.
there are also many cryptos that use blockchain technology that is still centralized.
or there are some countries that intend to make their own digital currency and be controlled by them.

That is also what I am thinking, since it is hard to know who's bitcoin wallet is whose we can't really say that it is a fact. Unless someone proves it on their own, sending proofs and showing themselves unto the public, but I guess that is dangerous to them in security.

Yes, you are right, Bitcoin will not be accepted in China as a currency, you know how much China hates Bitcoin is that they even banned Bitcoin mining and other crypto exchange, and now they are also cooking their own crypto then for sure that they will not be in favor of Bitcoin as their own currency, let's watch out in the next coming months.

Monero's new RandomX seems to be a hit for CPU miners.
But I'll warn you: there's a pretty high chance the CPU mining is unprofitable. Check your consumption, check the electricity price and do the math.


As an overall rule, from my experience, if a coin can be easily mined by anybody, usually the price will not rise (why buy when I can mine?), hence it's not profitable.

Spacemesh is a decentralized blockchain computer using a new race-free consensus protocol that doesn't involve energy-wasteful proof of work.

We aim to create a secure and scalable decentralized computer formed by a large number of desktop PCs at home.

We are designing and coding a modern blockchain platform from the ground up for scale, security and speed based on the learnings of the achievements and mistakes of previous projects in this space.

so far i know just :
1. Satoshi
2. FBI
3. Micree Zhan
4. Jihan Wu
5. Charlie Sherem
6. Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss ( The Twins )
7. Tim Draper
8. Barry Silbert

and recently i hear coinbase also have a huge number of BTC holding , around 800k BTC on their cold storage . also binance have around 400k BTC.
however , there almost 35-40% from total supply total btc of lost forever.

I've always been interested in this question, but I found a lot of confusing information.
I recently came across this article in Quora, and I wonder how accurate and verified this information is: https://www.quora.com/Who-holds-the-most-bitcoins
According to this article, it seems that Satoshi holds the most bitcoins, between 600,000 and 1,600,000 BTC.
The following are the Winklevoss brothers, with 91,666 bitcoin.
Next is Barry Silbert with 48,000 BTC.
Next in order are Tim Draper with $250,000 worth of BTC and Michael Novogratz with his crypto net worth to be around $700 million – $1 billion.
Do you agree with this assessment from the article or do you have more credible and accurate information?

* Bitcoin mining is not dead. Just may not be a good business for average Joe. And we get back to the greed part.

You've mixed up some things, I believe.

In the same was money distribution in the world is not uniform, in the same way Bitcoin distribution is not uniform. Some were luckier, some had money to invest, some have missed the train.

But this is is not related to mining. Bitcoin mining has became a business, indeed, average Joe cannot mine anymore. On the other hand this is good, helping blockchain safe against attacks and this also keeps the price high, so some of the "average Joe" can invest and gain (although, as said, this doesn't happen in many cases, but I'll get to this too).

And all this is is not related to decentralization as known for Bitcoin. Bitcoin decentralization is about how many full copies of the blockchain there are, it's about the full nodes and the number of mining pools. And these are fairly dispersed and decentralized.

Now about your concerns:

* Market manipulation is indeed bad, but isn't this concern out of greed "you want a piece too"? Bitcoin should be a coin, not necessarily an investment. Also the average Joe doesn't afford investing, this is the sad reality in the world. Bitcoin is not about easy money.

* Bitcoin mining is not dead. Just may not be a good business for average Joe. And we get back to the greed part.

* You are unhappy about the scams. Isn't like this everywhere in the world? The world is full of fake shops, of people trying to steal from you and so on. Here there's no difference, that's why one has to inform himself before trying this or that.
