 no idea why you are talking about pegouts. we are talking about censoring and a group of people that can do so. 

I didn't say it was the same exact thing.  I said there are people who can stop a tx in monero. There is always a chokepoint and tradeoffs made. Bitcoin has it, monero has it, fedi has them, and blockstream products have them of course.

To act like they don't is just silly.

the monero hash has been centralized and decreasing for a few years.  Unfortunately, the value just isn't there for people to want to mine.  bitcoin mining is hard enough, Monero mining isn't popular, know, or talked about at all. 
 Dude
"miners can refuse to mine a tx so its like liquid"
is fucking retarded.
Its not remotely similar.

If its LIKE anything else
because there are miners who could refuse to mine a tx,
its like bitcoin.

Except not at all,
because UNLIKE BITCOIN txs are obfuscated,
so its impossible to differentiate between txs and refuse to mine a particular one.

So no,
not happening.
Its a dumb critique.

There are alwaus tradeoffs, that's true.

You just don't know what they are.
