On one scale you puts the Trust to the large stakeholders (why we avoid ple=
nty of small stakeholders, btw),
and on the other side I put game theory and well defined Prisoner's Dilemma.

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.
