Yes the tech is not perfect but tons of research (Proof of Stake etc) is happening to make it perfect.
- marricks 5y agoReally surprised you brought up Proof of Stake for decentralization and not the environmental aspect. It could actually solve the environment issue! But decentralization? How will the ease of entry not allow allow rich people to dump money into it and be the main players/money makers in that system. Perhaps they wont all be in one country but they'll certainly (by stake owned) be one predominantly one demographic.
