PoS vs POW (Which one would you like?)

[X-ray]

This market now has both POS and POW based projects,and both of them have their own unique characteristics.

POS(Low energy consumption negligible to that of proof of work)
POW(Generation of blocks using computing power)

-Now, as a investor which one is your first choice and why?

-Which one is gonna be the winner in the long run?(I'm bullish on POS though).

 I like the concept of Proof of Work, its more rewarding. Miners earn more with the consensus Algorithm.  Proof of work rewards  automatically and requires non smart contracts protocols

But you need a very big electricity and big mining rig to be profitable. PoW will become out of date system.  Remember this is almost 10 year from the bitcoin's first mining and it has been consuming 0.1 electricity from the total electricity consume around the world.

Very bullish on POS due to the low energy requirement and of course low budget requirement. I have a lot of masternodes up and running and also stake some coins. Its easier compared to mining.

POS. POW just isn't practical if the coins are going to go main stream, the amount of electric being used is already obscene.

Both have their own characteristics. But i think PoS is better than POW. Because i know some of my friend who connects with Pos and they told me this site is good.

Yeah both are good on their own way but POW needs a huge amount of electricity
and the craze making people use more electricity which is being wasted,that's the reason
i don't like this system over POS.

I like POW  because they  pass many years that there project are always on the line each ICOs Sale always  successfully sold out with in on few months only!!  Thats would i like POW!!

What about environment degradation? There were reports regarding usage of fossil fuels
to generate cheap electricity for btc mining.
Which itself is an alarming news and this kind of negative effects will eventually make
people believe that it's not worth it.
you might wanna read up this reporting how miners are causing serious threat for mother nature.

Both POS and POW have their own advantages, but I prefer POS because the POS mechanism does not consume energy.
Although the POW mechanism may be more equitable, the distribution method is more reasonable.

I prefer Pow, because POW needs its own capital to be able to get coins, for example we have to buy rig mining equipment to get Bitcoin, and the gain is stable enough
if POS, I consider less challenging, PoS is also at risk of SCAM if the community begins to leave coin related

[jackpot888]

In my opinion it is POS becuase I think it is more user friendly than POW and it also need less power.User can also access for staking because its cryptocurrency is premined.
