Note I added point #3 as why PoS is MUCH less secure than PoW.

Basically this boils down to the same conceptual tradeoff as the post where I replied to ArticMine, in that allowing decentralized participating enables unbounded conditions (which is a flaw) but centralizing participation also leads to another set of flaws.

Crypto currency is flawed as a concept. Appears it can't work.

Completely decentralised, maybe it is (like FTL space travel). You could be 100% spot on, I'm not arguing that. However, maybe the notion of a completely decentralised currency is also flawed.

Since you genuninely seem to care for the common good, please consider what's more important to everyone: Perfection or improvement?

I could argue that the notion of value/power always leads to some centralisation or other. There is no technical fix to that, simply because: We have computers that can beat your computers.

On a practical level for overall improvement, the question becomes what implementation keeps centralisation in check as much as desirable.
