  1. Thanks for making Ethereum worthless for anyone except the VCs and the whales. POS breaks the entire point of cryptocurrency, tragic how Vitalik fundamentally does not understand Satoshi's entire argument. If you're gonna go proof of stake i might just as well revert back to USD, you offer no advantage

  2. proof of stake, should be renamed proof of money.
    proof of work tends to encourage IT people to participate, proof of stake encourages finance people. I tend to believe IT people are more aligned with blockchain ideals than bankers. I also tend to think the non-voting, longest block wins consensus mechanism is better than basically letting the people with the most coin have the most votes. I don't hate POS but I'm very suspicious and Solana's ddos "attack" didn't help.

  3. Proof of Stake = Who has more wins more… what an improvement over fiat!
    Centralization!! This sucks!! Buy Bitcoin

  4. QUESTION (someone please answer): in PROOF OF WORK your computer has to actually solve maths to get to a result that certifies that by adding a specific number (and only that number) to the data of a specific block of transactions, you get a number that starts with a given number of ceros. This guarantees that the block you are validating has a very specific set of data and any other.
    In PROOF OF STAKE, how do I know if the block of transactions I am voting to approve is correct or fraudulent?

  5. Why would eth go POS if you need 32 eth to stake … plus new comers have no way unless they buy 32 eth an stake to get more token “one token one vote right “ who’s going to play thousands to vote. I tell u who Coinbase an these whales not the whole network . Where back to this Shitty model of greed that exist with banks 🙁
