This is why I think a big land grab will happen for ETH. And even though I think bitcoin is grossly overvalued, ETH could accelerate and possibly surpass bitcoin in terms of paid-in capital. PoS, at least in theory, creates future cash flow. Not a fan of crypto but Vitalik is one of very few people in the crypto space with genuine good intentions and intellectual curiosity.

he also has a %70 premine of this coin with his buddies. Eth also have a dynamic issuance schedule exactly like USD, EUR or any other fiat. Except instead of a Central Bank, a few devs decide it.

Well aware. Again, not a fan of crypto at this point but just on a relative basis it seems ETH is a logical choice to come out ahead.
