Anyone with power supply can sell it to you and has no=20 further interest in what you do with that power. If you don't find a=20 powersupply, you can build your own. That is not generically true for PoS. If the seller is still staked with = more coins they hold, they are entrenched in the network and have=20 "permissioned" you to partake only for what they sold to you. Even=20 worse, if a super-majority decides to simply never sell, you cannot=20 aquire significant stake and participate in minting.

If the premise above is true, then there is no significant permission needed to enter the market for minting blocks for PoS Coin X. If you make= a bid on someone's coins and they don't like you and refuse, you can move o= n to any one of the other tens of thousands of people in that marketplace.
