It's amazing to me how bytemaster is ahead of the thought curve so often. He was the first voice I know of out there who was seriously preaching the concept that Bitcoin is not really decentralized, that it's essentially in control of a handful of mining pool operators and is based on a wasteful, outdated form of security. Now it seems these ideas are catching on in the community at large (not just ours) and that's a great thing. As Ghandi said:
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
