I should add....there isn’t even any door to send jackbooted thugs with badges to kick down, nobody to threaten or haul off to prison, nobody’s assets to seize, nobody to intimidate or corrupt. All the authoritarians and control freaks really really hate Bitcoin for the above reasons.

I don’t know much about bitcoin. I do like your thinking though. And, President Trump is a speculator, who has made a fortune. I am going to trust his business judgement. Meanwhile, bidet is asking if he can have some as a topping on his ice cream.

What about mining cartels? If a cartel of miners conspires to exert a significant amount of influence over the network’s hash power, they could theoretically manipulate the blockchain (e.g., a 51% attack).

People who say this is unlikely because it damages the trust and the value of Bitcoin fail to understand the cleverness of criminals.
