man we mustve run similar circles in that era! but whats intriguing to me is that you remain unconvinced of pos even though eth did not go with CBC style pos.

my main issues with PoS a) it "feels" perpetual motion machine-y to me...the value of the network secures the value of the network b) correlation doesn't prove causation but hard to ignore the market devaluing ETH vs BTC after the PoS switch c) quite simply PoW is driven by the laws of nature (can't break the laws of energy) while PoS is fallible being based on human designs...a lot of unknown unknowns about what could go wrong
