&gt; &quot;Proof-of-work is essentially one-CPU-one-vote.&quot; - Nakamoto<p>Yes this is one of the things that Satoshi got wrong. &quot;1 CPU = 1 vote&quot; is wrong. Turns out that Proof-of-Work is unrelated to the physical quantity of CPUs, rather it&#x27;s more about computation and hashrate. Also it&#x27;s a stretch to call Proof-of-Work a vote ..... it&#x27;s not an election, it&#x27;s more like a random lottery or something.
