<i>&gt; Proof-of-Stake is nothing new, and it has serious problems: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.bitcoin.it&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Proof_of_Stake" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.bitcoin.it&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Proof_of_Stake</a> </i><p>Would you mind pointing to the relevant sections?<p>I wasn&#x27;t able find criticism about Proof-of-Stake there. Instead, the beginning describes the problems with Proof-of-Work (which Proof-of-Stake tries to address). The large middle part describes some systems which mix both PoW and PoS.<p><i>&gt; People just don&#x27;t like it because it challenges their economic worldview</i><p>Not sure how this is relevant to the discussion about Bitcoin hypes and Ethereum.<p>In particular, I don&#x27;t see why the people who implemented Ethereum shouldn&#x27;t like Bitcoin. And even if they do dislike Bitcoin, I&#x27;m pretty sure this is not because it challenges their economic worldview, as Ethereum challenges the common economic worldview even more.
