Not only he's right, but also in the next few years (or hopefully months) we'll witness an explosion of honorable mid-scale Bitcoin miners popping up that will grow to dominate the mining landscape. For the most part they won't be turning a profit but they won't be losing money either. They won't be investing a dime in mining rigs and yet they'll be infinitely more sovereign than those who purchased mining hardware at hosting companies. Instead they'll dish out mining jobs prepared by their own node to hundreds or thousands of rigs, taking advantage of the master-slave architecture of the Stratum protocol. How do I know? Because it's what I've been doing for the last couple months, and I'm pretty sure at least tens of thousands of people will want to do the same. Hashers that don't sell their hashrate to this new kind of miner and keep using the old FPPS pools will be at a competitive disadvantage because FPPS pools cannot pay them as much. Game over for mining centralization. And for shitcoiners on Bitcoin.
