A study of the state of crypto networks (including Bitcoin and Ethereum) revealed:

  • Bitcoin Underutilizes Its Network
  • Ethereum is Better Distributed Than Bitcoin
  • Neither Are All That Decentralized
  • Ethereum Wastes Mining Effort That Can Be Put To Better Use
  • Ethereum Exhibits Better Variance in Fairness, Favoring Small Miners

Kinda crazy that mining for the top 2 coins is actually very centralized. The top 4 minters control more than 50% of the hash rate and "the entire blockchain for both systems is determined by fewer than 20 mining entities".
