1/ Interesting discussion today with @elonmusk about the differences between #Bitcoin and #Dogecoin in regards to decentralization and the ability to serve as a new digitally-native money for the people
Here are some additional nuances on the subject
2/ As one of the people who helped bootstrap @PayPal to where it is today, I understand Elon's perspective regarding the traditional centralized currencies like $USD in the context of payments
But blockchains are entirely different technology with very different considerations
3/ Blockchains are designed to be inherently decentralized, censorship resistant, and permissionless in order to lower the barrier of entry for financial activity
Centralized finance does not reflect these values due to its centralized, censorable, and permissioned nature
"Proof of Stake = rich get richer" is an example of a half-truth
It paints a human societal problem as something that's unique to Proof of Stake (it's not)
Proof of Work has the same exact problem with ASICs, but arguably worse because of economies of scale for energy usage
Yes it's true that PoW miners need to sell a *portion* of their mined coins to stay profitable, but ultimately the profit margins between PoW and PoS will be extremely similar
PoW's higher selling pressure simply means more buyers are needed in order to just keep the price flat
With EIP-1559 burning the base fees of transactions, PoS systems can be deflationary, off-setting this problem by granting *everyone* a higher percentage of the supply over time
Having captial always means you can generate more capital, this is not at all unique to PoS *or* PoW
