If bitcoin becomes the world currency, nation states can mine in order to protect the system.

I think an equilibrium would be reached. For example, the US is probably OK with Russia having 10% of hash power if the US has 10%, and so on.

However, that particular example may be unrealistic, because the US would probably choose poverty over accepting bitcoin.

That sounds truly decentralized. /s


As long as there’s enough countries mining, it’s decentralized enough
