Argument: PoW is a security model that depends on energy usage and mathematics. PoS is a security model that depends on human behavior.

I trust physics over human behavior any day. Human psychology is the weak link in any system.

In the next year, we will see a further consolidation of funds towards traditional finance (they have the capital to acquire the floating btc). We do not want tradfi in charge of coin emission. Proof of Stake is reinventing existing power structures. Bitcoin as PoW prevents this hostile takeover by legacy forces. If tradfi and governments want a say in how coins are transacted/emitted, they better get mining!

I will myself be a validator as well. Anyone can be one (even if you don't have 32 ethers, you can join a pool). You are either purposefully or ignorantly telling lies.

How so? I have no doubt that anyone can stake their ether.

What I doubt is the security model of having large ether stakers in control of emission/tx inclusion.

If large stakeholders, like the largest banks in the world, have a say in how this works, the value of a decentralized, antifragile peer to peer money fails.

Actually it doesn't depend on behavior. It depends on destroying an attacker's ability to keep attacking.

There's nothing 'huge' with this claim. It's basic knowledge.
