I don’t trust proof of stake, mostly because loads of people who I consider irrational want it to work so desperately. Proof-of-work actually does work - it is no longer a debate, and these people (many of the same people who were saying “b-b-but tulips” a couple years ago) can’t stand it. I wouldn’t trust them to engineer their way out of a paper bag - definitely not after some muppet on the TV reminds them to get back in line. Capitalism is still winning again, folks. Deal with it.

  Unfortunately, I will never go along with one of your plans, because I do not trust your ability, or the ability of others who panic about the environment. Bit of a Catch-22 for you there, sorry. It’s just reality.

    I’m not sure I follow your logic. Climate change is happening and rich players of capitalism are making record profits while being significant contributors of greenhouse gas emissions. The logic of whom not to trust in this chain is pretty simple. There is no catch-22 here without some magical stretch of logic.

      Sorry, but no.

        Do you care to explain your logic then? Why do you not trust the ability of those that claim climate change is an issue for capitalism? Despite climate change obviously happening with devastating consequences for most of humanity, and despite most major polluters raking in record profits? I mean my reason for not trusting said capitalists is that I don’t want people’s success to be vested in the destruction of our planet. I honestly don’t understand yours.
