The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

One of the links is regarding Bitcoin Gold, not Bitcoin itself. The other link describes how it's theoretically possible but has never happened...and if it didn't happen in the early days, it seems much less likely to happen given how widespread mining is now. Even if some blocks broke off to a new chain because a miner got lucky with 20-30% of the mining computing power, the chain can recover. I still don't see how any one entity could pull off 20-30% mining power, but I don't have a ton of knowledge on this.
