I heard that there is nothing at stake with these proof of stake chains.

lol, Actually the ppcoin started trading on BTC-E.com yesterday, and it has a bit of value. I don't think there are other proof of stake coins, I may have missed something..
I'm a bit of a speculator, I'm thinking ppcoin will blow up and demolish all of the other alt cryptos due to this proof of stake aspect.


If an alt coin that has proof of stake (currently only ppcoin) became popular, would bitcoin implement it?

No. Bitcoin is and always will be proof of work.

Isn't the beauty of bitcoin that it can be changed? How do you know exactly what the future will bring for bitcoin?
