I've always wondered why bitcoin maximalist would want to live in a world run by the person who owns the most bitcoin.


That's not how Bitcoin works, and the article doesn't make any claim to the contrary. Neither Bitcoin owners nor Bitcoin miners control the rules of the network. If they were to unilaterally change the rules, their (now forked) Bitcoin wouldn't be accepted by sellers any more than I can use Monopoly money to buy a meal at McDonalds.

Contrast with Ethereum, which with its Proof of Stake switch does give some level of control to Ethereum holders.


This is technically true, but I feel like ends up actually meaning something very different from what people take from it.

Which is to say, I see more reason to trust Ethereum to "work right, as stated" precisely because it's just federated enough?


Supposing the alternative is a world run by the Federal Reserve, I suggest you audit each one carefully and make your choice.


It's not ran by others. They can't throw inflation at you as they can't print more units, differently from the status quo.


Because if that happened the people would convert their wealth to other tokens, leaving the rich man with nothing


why wouldn't the rich man also convert their wealth?


Because everyone is sloshing to altcoins that will eventually drop to zero


wouldnt that devalue it?


You make a habit of wasting your life beating on strawmen?
