IDK If I'm gonna respond to Capitalist shills. I want to educate people as to why socialism is good but as Satoshi said: "If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try and convince you. Sorry."
What were Satoshi's economic beliefs? From the research I've done it would seem this Crypto/Bitcoin idea originated from people with strong Capitalist leanings. Talking of Cypherpunks.
I think Satoshi had Market Socialist leanings. You can equate the PoW vs PoS block schemes as Socialism vs Capitalism. PoS = rich get richer, poor get poorer. PoW = do the work = $$$$$
How xactly do the Rich not get Richer with Proof-of-Work. They are the 1's with Capital 2 invest heavily in elite mining operations and profit off the Workers who run them. Plz xplain?
1/5 Yes it's true, mining pools as they exist today are fairly Capitalist but they didn't have to be. Current mining pools are capitalist because the Capitalists who run them take the
2/5 entire block reward and only give the workers in it the fees. However a solo miner back in 2009 was able to just run their miner on a graphics card and get the whole reward as they
3/5 did the work. Mining pools could be run in a more co-op fashion though by simply having all the miners getting their share of block reward + fees based on the hash power they......
4/5 provided. Each miner would also get an equal vote on how the pool was run. Currently miners in mining pools don't get a say in how the pool is run or how the profits are.....
5/5 distributed. Mining is like this because it is surrounded by Capitalism, but mining was not designed with Capitalism in mind. Bitcoin is socialist, but the pools within aren't.
Further, individual miners are free to choose any of the pools listed (with different reward algorithms) or even start their own with whatever rules they want.
I think Socialists & Communists r a minority in Bitcoin (BCH) because they don't seem to understand that only elite miners (Capitalists) can profit the most. When price is down and up.
people with cheap electricity profit the most. (unless by elite you just mean best/most efficient not necessarily the largest) large miners can better deal with variance in reward time
Speaking 2 efficiency of Capitalist miners who have access to best electricity rates. Luv to hear your & others opinion on this vid from where I side with.
Really its about converting fiat to crypto efficiently. Could do this at the market (paying a premium at $6.5k) or could mine (more variables but reduced rate ($1-4k/BTC)
I agree with this too. I would add places with free cooling can also boost efficiency (like heating homes in the far north with miners). Have to also consider expected future value
It's not about who can profit the most. It's about everyone being paid for their work. If the owners of large mining pools take most of the profits, the workers aren't paid enough.
And as far as workers are concerned, they are the majority in any economic system. Capitalists are the minority who have an unfair advantage. Anyone in their right mind is Socialist.
