Have you never used a block explorer, or do you just not understand how blockchain works? I fully agree there are weird insider deals based on allocations and premines - but that's all fully auditable, and if it isn't, that says a

You are myopic in your comparison. "Most of the stake isn't for sale." Well if we are fantasizing about huge pools of capital shelling out the money necessary to get enough mining equipment for a majority hash rate, there is

This is one of the biggest reasons I like Cardano. It's written in Haskell and its contract language is functional and heavily inspired - meaning that code gets many of the functional benefits: it is more concise, more readable, less p

Security is not usually the main use case of a service, but a necessary feature of one. Bitcoin can do many things, and its main use case right now is store of wealth, so with your examples you've demonstrated you don't understand
