I am not at all surprised by this initiative, because it is the modus operandi of American democracy - they will try to centralize Bitcoin as much as possible, this is certainly only the first step in that direction. Fortunately, their mining pool is not the only one, and as far as I'm concerned, let them do whatever they want - Bitcoin has always been able to resist such attempts, and I think that will be the case in the future as well.
I agree with this!
If we do try to count on various events or circumstances about these kind of attempts on where trying out to make everything centralized specially its connected to crypto or bitcoin itself
then they are much pretty aware that they wont really have the chance on reaching up that certain goal.
Its true that they arent the only ones when it comes to mining pool.They are just a small fish on a big pond and having that centralized kind of mindset wont really bother out
the system as a whole.
