Have you ever read the white paper that outlines what bitcoin aims to be?

It should be p2p cash then turn into store of value after some years and then it becomes the settlement layer for centralized second layer solutions that only exist because the first layer sucks.

Just kidding, it should only be p2p cash and it failed at that.

PoW/PoS will be replace by FBA in the next years and every system that can not switch away from PoW will become irrelevant.
