It was good to see POS when we saw it first time. Now there are so many POS coins so it doesn't attract anymore.

PoS is the way to move forwards, its PoS which is dead. There are many variants of PoS now - TF, POI, DPOS etc.

Anyone can start a PoS and it is just as secure as anyone else's. They're like wooden nickels. Worthless. I'll use them if my nation declares them legal tender, but not before because there is no fair distribution with any of them. Governments will only distribute them to themselves anyway so why bother buying into them beforehand? In fact the philosophy behind PoS is so state-centric, I don't see why anyone bothers to develop them. Nobody has yet shown that they are immune from permanent centralization. So just face it, they are ideal for central banks.

Nice strawman. I didn't say centralization. I said permanent centralization.

So? Is PoW immune from permanent centralization? No, it is not. It's moving towards permanent and full centralization like a speed train. In 1 year there will be 2 mining pools, each controlling 50% of the hashrate.

bitcoins continued centralization is not temporary, and if anything, the more centralized it becomes the more "permanent" it is.. the miners are like the banks, once they have the monopoly, are the hell going to give it up.. they will want to weed out every little miner until their is a small consortium of miners bringing in all the bitcoins into the hands of a very small few.. the longer time goes on the worse this gets.. it happens in every major profit making industry.. telecoms, electricity, water, banking, bla bla bla.. all started out with loads of little companies/businesses/public owned but as time goes on their are fewer and fewer players in these markets because the larger guys are pushing out the smaller ones by making it impossible for them to compete or just buying them out. the exact same thing is happening with bitcoin. more than likely in a few more years there will be 3-4 major miners at best.. another few years and it could be one guy that owns all of them.. he gets corrupted - bitcoin is FUCKED!

stop spewing such crap around, all your doing is trying to brain wash the newbies into thinking that PoS is a load of crap when your very obviously wrong. as if its even going to have any effect what so ever.

Reality shows a different picture. PoW is trending towards centralization, PoS is more decentralized. It's blockchain stats, not my imagination.

Do you have proof that any single entity controls PoS?

That's unfalsifiable. PoS has no way to know when it happens. That's the problem. I don't have a problem if governments use PoS because we can unelect them.
