I don't know what is going on with Mr. D'Angelo, but I don't fucking like it.
This guy has put out informative videos in the past, and seemed to be on "our side", but lately I'm getting a feel here that he's being influenced somehow. Namely, the push from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake, which ironically is the next kettle-banging spamming effort from our confused friends over at r/btc.
Proof of Work hasn't even been allowed to show its technical chops while scaling, and yet there are people saying we should throw it all out and use something else. I'm very wary of this push, namely because Proof-of-Stake has certain properties that mimics the same failed fiat system being used in the world today (those with the biggest piles of cash make the rules and hold the power). And there is no evidence that a PoS chain would scale better than PoW.
These movements to divide-and-conquer the Bitcoin community leave a bad taste in my mouth, and I think this next issue was simply selected because we've managed to navigate the whole blocksize problem without self-destructing. It smacks of some kind of counter-intelligence or psychologically-based propaganda, and I don't fucking like it.
Watch out about arguments over PoS and PoW, there's a hidden agenda being promoted here....
