Were the PR campaign for more distributed civic mining instead of always for a profit motive, you and me and anyone else we can convince of the importance. 

I'm pointing it out to you. I've posted on nostr about it before even doing the math for how much hash you need for your % of hash to equal your % of all coins held. I brought it up at the last in person meetup I went to.

The commercial miners won't ever stand up to the gov when the rubber hits the road, they are infrastructure dependant. It has to be distributed at the device level so the government simply has too many targets to effectively engage with forcing compliance.

Then the individuals can change pools at will or even solo from their own infrastructure like some of the people in meshtadel are working on.
