Restarting Satoshi's Vision: How $Scash Revives Bitcoin
"It's nice how anyone with just a CPU can compete fairly equally right now."
(It's nice that now everyone can compete fairly with just a CPU.)
—— Satoshi Nakamoto, 2009
This is a sentence written by Satoshi Nakamoto at the beginning of Bitcoin's birth.
At that time, there were no roaring mines, no monopolized ASIC machines. Any ordinary person could simply turn on their home computer, run a simple program, and fairly participate in the construction of this decentralized network, earning their own rewards.
However, over time, capital entered the field, and computing power became highly concentrated due to the emergence of ASIC mining machines. Ordinary people's CPUs were forced out, and the utopia that Satoshi Nakamoto envisioned, where "everyone can mine," seems to be drifting further away.
