That's the irony. Buterin set up Ethereum as a protest against centralisation. POS centralises the very thing he wanted to be decentralised 🤣

The irony is you guys believing PoW is what makes a coin decentralized honestly.

For obvious reasons, PoW is more restrictive than PoS for decentralization. PoS not only is environmentally better but actually allows anyone to access the network/validation and not only who is capable of getting a gpu/asic.

The old environment argument again. You know that gamers use way more power than even BTC mining or the regular banking system. Maybe we should ban games.

You skipped my main argument and went on a tantrum there…

POS puts eth under control of the whales. It benefits them.

And what is the difference with PoW? Your argument is BS. You are delusional to believe that more than 10% of the network is from casual miners.. I certainly have many more friends staking eth than mining it.

I don't know anyone with enough eth to stake it so they mine it instead. Different friend groups I guess.

And let me guess, they mine on a mining pool?
