🔗 The risk of centralization in Bitcoin: The influencer Isabella Santos warns about the loss of sovereignty in the network. The control of hardware and mining pools is falling into the hands of a few players, replicating the closed model of large tech companies.
🏗️ Monopolies in infrastructure: three manufacturers control 93% of the equipment (
#ASICs ). Moreover, only two entities manage over 60% of the global hashrate, which facilitates the censorship of transactions and weakens decentralization.
🛡️ Open-source alternatives: To combat this trend, Santos highlights projects like Bitaxe and the pool
#OCEAN . These tools aim to return power to the individual miner, eliminating intermediaries and promoting the use of auditable hardware.
💡 Final explanation: Isabella Santos concludes that the freedom of Bitcoin depends on our ability to choose the open over the convenient. The future of the network lies in community participation and the rejection of corporate monopolies.
