“Bitcoin mining is not centralized because other industries are more centralized.”

Whataboutism is always a great argument, but it doesn’t fix these things 👇or the fact that a single manufacturer produces most BTC mining equipment.

No, the Bitcoin mining is NOT centralized

For context, let's look at the characteristics of different global industries, based on degree of centralization

Even after counting for the effect of reward halvings, a $1B Bitcoin would give miners more than three times the entire current US federal budget to waste on hardware and electricity (current $10 billion annually, which led to them consuming half a percent of global electricity).

$1 billion #Bitcoin...

Fidelity's @TimmerFidelity thinks #BTC could reach $1 billion by 2038, or 15 years from today.

This would make one sat worth $10.

Who knows if 2038 will be right... However if #Bitcoin thesis is correct there is no logical conversation rate for USD. 🤯
