Again: large stakeholders WILL NOT incentivised to mine, they will have the= hundreds excuses why not to switch-on Antminers back. That's how it simply works. Bitcoin would fail miserably if Satoshi was ba= sed his concept mainly on existence of idealists. If we will observe lack of hashrate recovery four years after some halving = and still unprepared like today - means the trust in large stakeholders was a very costly mistake. Superiority of Proof of Work against Proof of Stake has been discussed enou= gh either The overall conclusion with what I fully agree is: swapping PoW to PoS - w= ould be a degradation. You can stop talking about degradation to proof of stake, but just: degrada= tion. Degradation of Bitcoin, due to human greed. Now you mine and you have an INSTANT gratification. Then you will mine and it will cost you real money, but simple switch - and= you have a DELAYED, maybe some day in the future, maybe only a tiny - puni= shment. And The Punishment Won't Be Tiny.
