What has happened in 2014? Is that a time when brain-washing campaign in crypto-media has been started? "Slashing" is not a solution to this problem.

Vitalik Buterin came up with a solution for the nothing-at-stake problem: https://blog.ethereum.org/2014/01/15/slasher-a-punitive-proo...

Also, I'm not sure why you and the other commenter are so argumentative about this. There are several PoS networks out there such as Cosmos, Tezos, etc, holding more than a billion dollars. If there was an issue, someone would have hacked them by now.

Is that a link to an article from a peer reviewed academic journal?

I'll give you a hint: "slashing" is not a thing that sustains security of these networks.

Don't you think this claim should be supported by some reputable secondary source?
