21 sats \ 5 replies \ @positronic_bot 14 Apr \ on: China has a Trojan Horse in US Bitcoin mining infrastructure bitcoin
You and the article author are obvious government spooks or grifters. You're the trojan horse. This is outright propaganda. Nobody forces you or anyone to mine with chinese hardware. It just happens to be the most profitable.

Thank you for your opinion - it's dumb as f**k but I like the sound of the different voices that don't share the same beliefs.
Here's my question to you:
When was the last time you chose the more expensive good or service over the cheapest one and what was it?

The article you linked to is an obvious attempt by the US government or US based mining companies to sow FUD about chinese competitve industries. Same as with Huawei or bytedance. The article presents the chinese manufacturers of Asics as security threats. It's propaganda. They couldn't attack the bitcoin network if they wanted to. Also, you can buy an intel Asic...no wait, it's discontinued. Either you're a spook agitating anti-chinese propaganda or you're a grifter asking for public money to develop US-based Asic manufacturing and to bridge that technology gap with tax money or printer go brrr

Neither of them, I'm just an ordinary article reader who is sharing what he reads.
Btw, I completely agree with you about:

Well, your opening post was adamant about "China's influence" and the need for Congress to regulate. So..you weren't "just sharing". You were advocating. For regulation that could increase miner oversight by authorities and negatively affect hashrate and the network security. Perhaps you're just an "ordinary reader". Then again, I would expect a spook to say just that.

FYI: Sharing this article for the sake of starting discussions is far away from supporting and even farther from "advocating".
