Only the one big pow coin matters tho. Turns out, PoS coins are worthless!

I also dislike energy frugality arguments. They come from a Luddite place. A civilization is defined by its energy usage. Let’s be advanced civilization.

what do you mean worthless? I'd say the opposite - Bitcoin does nothing... it just sits there looking pretty, this vs all newer blockchains that can actually run programs... we even have smart contracts running MIPS emulators for production use!

... get Bitcoin to do 3% of what ANY PoS blockchain could do.
