Ghash is earning insane amount of $$$ on BTC. I don't see how would they intentionaly want to destroy what feeds them (and feeds them very very good).
Thos, this situation, should be sign for devs....it's time to make some serious decisions.
Everyone sais, ASIC's are "keepers of network" they "make it safer".
Well, you don't need ASIC to tear Bitcoin apart. All you need to do is to bribe / somehow convince leaders of 2 or 3 top pools and thing is over. That's 2 or 3 individuals....and that's what's really scarry.
Bitcoin is great thing, not because of hardware, it's great because of it's protocol (software). That's why security can not be and should not be guaranteed by hardware. It should be enforced in protocol, on software side. Solutions are out there, just check some other coins and their solutions.
But i dont really see it change. Hardware companies are too deep into BTC coding decisions to let anything change as far as that goes.
I still believe in Bitcoin, i still hold what i have, and buy what i can, but i dont have to like every aspect of it.
