Silicon is the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust, after oxygen: and only because there are two oxygens in silicon dioxide.

If someone corners the market on silicon, Bitcoin dominance is the least of our problems.

OP's argument is that PoS is a problem because the supply of tokens is finite, and that PoW doesn't have the same problem because it relies on physical capital instead.

But physical capital is also finite.
