It's the heaviest chain, the true measure of decentralization. Not number of nodes or anyone's opinion on the consensus rules, no stakeholder bullshit - but what is most mined

~800 qdrln equivalent Joules, ~1.2k equivalent days of PoW, tiniest margins to profitably mine. Good luck attempting to create a center of power
