Right, but it also means that any legitimate users who get in later and want to genuinely participate are put on a permanent backfoot. Because ethereum is deflationary, and because PoS ensures marginal rewards goes to the biggest scammers- sorry I mean "the most passionate"- then the people who have more will get more.
This is also a flaw shared by the actual real world economy used by big girls and boys. However, crypto has also innovated many many more flaws and insecurities. So I'd rather stick to the bad system we have now, vs the worse system designed by grifters who quite literally just do not understand fucking anything about sensible ways to organize people.
- kinakomochidayo 3y agoI don’t understand who is the one being “scammed” when a person runs a consensus and execution layer clients along with their 32 ETH? They attest and propose blocks so that users’ transactions get included in the blocks. If you’re talking about the gas fees, that’s the pricing market at work, similar to toll fees for cars for highways. Layer 2s would be the train or megabuses on those highways - amortized gas costs by the number of people on them. PoS ensures marginal rewards to everyone equally with the same percentage unlike Bitcoin. You either bought ETH at $8 a pop back in 2017, or you’re now buying it at $1850, but everyone will get ~3.3% rewards for staking. Not that much different from people buying stocks when it was lower and getting dividends.
