Redeemable to gold in a GOVERNMENT secured system, not in a bunch of private vaults having nothing to do with a centralized system. Rather big difference. @NickSzabo4 is welcome to comment either way.
Governments if they desire have effective control over the vaults either way.
But Nick! Governments would never seize our gold right??!!? There's no historical precedent for them taking it or outlawing it's possession right!?! Trusted 3rd parties might be really friendly!!11!
Of course not. All you have to do is trust, easy and simple.
All you have to do is have confidence in the confidence men, easy and simple.
Yes and that same argument will be valid for significant "hash rate centers" too.
Taking even a large number of mining facilities offline doesn't confiscate the underlying value behind the network, though it may affect the cost to transact (fees, confirmation times). Mining is far more decentralized (and may actually decentralize further in the future)
Really do hope it decentralizes further.
BetterHash is a great development to this end. There's a GIF floating around of mining centralization over time but I can't find it right now.
