Unpopular opinion: maybe we should be cheering governments to kill mining because it would put mining into the hands of more plebs. *ducks

Significant mining is sadly no longer for the pleb. And it’s getting further away constantly too.

That’s part of my thesis, if government does kill major mining, and everyone is running a jPro or an S9 or a few or even some Bit Axes, the game changes.
If it's just after a difficulty adjustment and we loose 25-50% of hash power suddenly it's blocks every 20min instead. Been thinking about this attack for a bit
Hashrate could theoretically drop to near 0 and it would correct itself, would just take a little while until difficulty adjusted
