That "few of people" can be easily achieved on Steem than Bitcoin. That's my point. Think about it in terms of risk management for example.

The number of block producers that need to coordinate to refuse a transaction is about the same both for Steem and Bitcoin.

On Bitcoin 15 mining pools control 91.8% of the hashrate vs the 15 top witnesses positions in Steem that are needed for consensus.

So in terms of the number of actors that need to coordinate the risk is about equal...the difference is in the cost to carry out such an "attack".

the difference is in the cost to carry out such an "attack".

I agree. Even 1 person, as long as you have the resources, in both chains.

Thank you,

Sun took over the Steem chain easy with just a few millions. Oen server to run everything.

I want to see him try the same thing on the Bitcoin chain.

Then will try to compare the costs

the distribution of coins is still better on Steem than Bitcoin

What do you mean exactly by distribution? people who are using the coin, people who are mining or getting or using the coin? those are different chains, and the consensus for transaction refusal is not reached in the same way even if the technicality of it (transaction refusal) is the same.

`considering that the trend is for ever increasing concentration of coins into fewer and fewer hands and the same for hash power``

Unless those people are using nuclear fusion and not seeling anything to cover the energy cost.

You are mixing Bitcoin (the coin) with the question of hash power and transaction refusal consensus.

people can cooperate to ignore transactions without any problems what so ever

A known fact.
