you can't stop rational greed and profit motive. there's no way to prevent users from selling coins to colluding parties intent on attacking the network. it's impossible.

the biggest problem with many POS (or hybrid POS) supply distributions is that early adopters have disproportionate control over the supply. in fact, this element is present in POW networks like bitcoin too. but in bitcoin, it's not a problem re consensus and potential attacks on the network. in a POS system, it is. this is why POS remains unsolved.

Which if those early adopters want any fiat , then they have to sell a % of control.
Only PoS coins that have inflation rates so high that the PoS users never have to sell from their principle ,
would the early adopters never lose control. Simple solution is only buy coins with low or extremely low inflation rate.
* Funny , how no one worries that only 4 BTC Mining Pools can dominate all of Bitcoin. *
* But with PoS it scares the hell out of them if 30 or more stakers could collude to dominate. * Tongue

PoW ASICS used in BTC are way more vulnerable to government seizure than any Proof of Stake coin.

A PoS coin network can be hidden, plus with the click of a key can be transferred to another country at a moment's notice,
where as BTC's ASICS energy drain will paint a giant bullseye on it,
so any government agency can stop by and either just turn off the power or seize the ASICs, like what IRAN just did.

It only takes a few solid PoS supporters to keep a PoS network secure from Government takeover,
PoW network warehouses can't hide and are easy to find, therefore are much easier for government seizure.
