>it more like primarily heavy hitters with some pleb enths.

Nah, the vast majority of donations are below $50. See for yourself.


>Lots of times the CCSes got completed or halfwayed by a singular donation.

Don't look a benevolent whale in its blowhole.

>government can apply customs ban to high end CPUs and whatnot.

I love how you say this with a straight face.


>Yet we have never seen such an attack, even though, according to you, it is a piece of cake.

A delivery of BTC ASIC miners was impounded earlier this year. The precedent has already been set.

>I can buy an ASIC online

lol sure, until the govt says you can't anymore.

>Bitcoiners don't need running around "pls run miners guise" on twitter and embarrass themselves. Bitcoin has ample monetray rewards to keep incentivizing its chain security.

Lets not pretend that BTC security is some impervious monolith, their security model is highly exposed to state power, the hashrate drops like a rock the minute governments decide to prohibit ASIC imports while cutting power to mining farms under the guise of "muh environmental harm, muh economic destabilization".

And doing the above would cost Uncle Sam & Friends $0.00, all it takes is the stroke of a pen.

BTC is ultimately a permissioned chain that everybody pretends is otherwise because it financially benefits them.

True.

>or an ASIC.

Only if the govt allows it.

>this is so funny

What is funny? The 51% attack has failed to materialize, dipshit.


>XMRfags would criticize asic mining on bitcoin

Still hold true. BTC security forever remains at the mercy of the State. If Uncle Sam & Friends really wanted to cripple the BTC network they could do so with minor effort because ASIC mining requires unfettered access to specialized hardware manufactured overseas.

BTC miners = perpetual sitting ducks begging for mercy.
