For that so decentralized video, we are actually in agreement. That is absolutely not decentralized, as it is very easy for a government to knock on the door and tell them to do whatever they want, and if they want to continue to exist as a business, they must comply.

While Monero, for example, still uses proof of work, it is deliberately designed to work on general purpose CPUs, such as the ones you have in your phone, laptop, desktop, etc.

This completely murders the idea of a mining farm and completely murders the idea of being able to centralize in a place like that.

There's not one or only a few doors to knock on. There's thousands upon thousands of doors to knock on all across the world. And since it's so distributed, there's not jet engine level noise in one specific area harming the community like this.
