Globally, very few people have gaming GPUs. You're super-privileged and you're effectively arguing for locking in your privilege and making the other 90% of the world worse off. PoS puts everyone on an equal footing. You want to stake? Buy in.

PoS does not put everyone on an equal footing. PoS privileges those who got in early and had the money or hardware to acquire a large chunk of the coin.

It's ridiculous you talk about financial privilege. Who the hell do you think owns most crypto? You think it is people living on the streets in India? Children in Africa?

You sound super delusional. I can't believe it.
