The document discusses the issue of centralization in Bitcoin mining. It argues that proof-of-work leads to mining centralization as mining becomes dominated by a few large hardware owners. This endangers the decentralized nature of Bitcoin. The author proposes an alternative "Conner Consensus" where 1,000 individuals are selected to perform mining without proof-of-work, acting as a decentralized "mining congress" to address these issues. Overall, the document analyzes how proof-of-work may be failing to achieve decentralized consensus as originally intended.
