Yeah ... this. Although fwiw as someone who hated PoS I believe Casper and PoS is the way forward. As mining rewards go down the percentage allocated to supporting the network is inverted over time.

It becomes more feasible to make money by forking and taking a long position in an alternate currency or shorting what you're forking. I've been saying for a year now that the lower and lower inflation is a ticking time bomb.

Wow, you realize you are contradicting yourself here.

First you say you agree with Dwarfpool having too much hash-power and it is bad supposedly because they have too much control over the network, which is only half-true to begin with because there are many different miners who actually make up that hash-rate and could take it elsewhere should nefarious activity be suspected. So somehow this is bad.

But now you are advocating PoS, where only an even smaller portion of people will control the supply, as early reports indicated you would need balance's of at least 1,500 ether ($15,000+ currently) to be able to stake coins. That is somehow better?

So in short, having the ability for home miners to invest $200 in a video card and generate a small amount of coins, even if they point to a large pool is going to sink Ethereum. Whereas people who can invest $15,000 or more before they even begin to stake is somehow perceived as its salvation. Hmm, strange logic here.

Edit: Actually not all that strange, seems exactly like banker logic. Now they just need to up the minimum amount of coins required to stake to somewhere around 20,000 coins and it would be perfect.
