I am looking forward to the moment, when all the people who consider this the 2nd coming of christ equivalent for the crypto world realize that it's just business as usual.
- wmf 4y agoIMO the Merge will "prove" that PoS works and thus bring a lot of pressure to bear on PoW coins for being obviously wasteful.
- tmalsburg2 4y agoHasn’t Cardano already shown that POS works and it did not have the effect that you predict? I’m afraid most people in the crypto world don’t care one bit about the carbon foot print of these technologies.
- woojoo666 4y agoCardano has a tiny market compared to Bitcoin or Ethereum. And as we've seen over the years, a lot of problems only show up at scale. So if Ethereum is able to run PoS safely, it will be a much bigger deal.
- mFixman 4y agoI'm excited about this. Bitcoin and crypto use an obscene amount of energy and are basically impossible to ban. A working proof-of-stake system in a non-shitcoin will pile pressure on all cryptocurrencies to move to that system to use less energy.
- mattdesl 4y agoMost crypto projects and blockchains aside from Bitcoin and Ethereum are already using proof of stake for consensus. But otherwise I agree, it will give more confidence in PoS to see it securing Ethereum.
- cypress66 4y agoI don't agree that stopping gigawatts of power from being "wasted", same with GPUs, is business as usual.
