It actually means that their blockchain isn’t held hostage by a handful of miners and we should congratulate them on that.
Why would a State or central bank try to develop a cpu based asic when they can just delist monero from every exchange on earth and use the surveillance apparatus they already have to keep an eye on who might be exchanging bitcoin for monero? Or setup honeypots or literally just plain brute force? That is what they always do.
And I’m pretty sure ASIC developers wouldn’t be sitting on the opportunity of printing literal cash if they thought it was possible to do so.
