Subject: Re: [bitcoin-dev] Surprisingly, Tail Emission Is Not Inflationary
Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2022 15:43:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <73828407-38b211dc3a9d78d44c9b9fb6c2b60b85@pmq6v.m5r2.onet> (raw)
On one scale you puts the Trust to the large stakeholders (why we avoid plenty 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 based 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 enough either
The overall conclusion with what I fully agree is: swapping PoW to PoS - would be a degradation.
You can stop talking about degradation to proof of stake, but just: degradation.
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 - punishment.
And The Punishment Won't Be Tiny.
