The discussion revolves around the prevalent skepticism and criticism surrounding proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchains. Key points from user comments highlight a perceived decline in interest in blockchain technology, doubts about the fairness of PoS compared to proof-of-work (PoW), and concerns regarding centralization and the role of wealth in influencing network benefits. There are also unresolved issues in cross-chain interactions, suggesting that merely increasing the number of blockchains does not address existing challenges. Overall, a sentiment exists that PoS models may disproportionately favor wealthier participants, leading to accusations of PoS being elitist or fraudulent.
