Moving ETH to PoS is a necessity, not a choice. Ice age was in the code from the beginning.
I feel sorry for all the poor smucks who bought ETC recently, thinking they were buying ETH..
Must be so many out there that realized too little too late they bought the wrong token

That may be, however the people who dont like it still wont like it; and if ETC remains PoW then there will probably be people who flock to it when it does change.
