The obvious question would be why do you hate it so much. I can't recall the viability of any piece of technology affecting me so negatively. We create technology to solve problems.

Is it not a blockchain technology?

It is, however, not the blockchain technology.

I doubt it, they just hid the dirty little secret that everyone putting up the stake will now mine it on another chain
