> Banning PoW would benefit Bitcoin; it's the main thing preventing it from becoming more popular right now. It would be interesting to see some real numbers on that claim. For me, much bigger would be volatile value, lack of places to spend it, weekly stories about people losing life savings because off coding errors and whatnot and just generally that it seems to be an interesting solution to a problem I don't have. PoW is in there somewhere, but nowhere near the top.
