Staking ETH yourself, would be the most decentralized and secure path to take. We'll have to see if ETH developers decrease the staking requirement or leave it as is. What matters is decentralization. As long as ETH can remain decentralized with PoS, there should be nothing to worry about. Just my thoughts Grin

To me, I think, is a step-down from Decentralization. The POS only favors those who have large amounts ETH to stake and validate blocks which can not be compared to POW where anyone could afford a good and cheap GPU could participate in the mining process

I think that after the launch of POS mining, various pools will appear that will accept even 1 Ethereum to create a node. The rewards will be divided among all the participants in the node, but the various penalties are probably the same.
But you don't need to buy video cards

There is a joke on the Internet that miners are to blame for global warming, so POW algorithms will collect a lot of negative reviews.
