Hey there, everyone! Seems like hot debates here.

Let me put some thoughts inhere.

POW|POS hybrid model is already a great choise since people who jump from pow to pos betray miners, and people who shill pos INSTEAD of pow look idiotic to OGs.

In Dash, you do have both choises and everyone just pick - which is a diversity of thinking and actions and is very good.

Despite what toknormal insinuated I never advocated for DASH to dump POW and go POS. I merely brought up the ESG concerns big investors have. We can pretend that they don't have concerns but it's probably better to acknowledge them and try to address these concerns anyway.

Not sure if the whole ESG thing is not yet another tricky marketing stuff. Humans spoil the Earth so hard you cannot solve the issue by simply forcing the big tech companies to follow ESG rules. Also, big tech will likely continue to grow pollution covering it with ESG flags and extensive marketing which will claim they do the best while in fact they do even worse than ever. Just my thoughts. I do not believe that ESG trend is powerful to solve anything, the whole system needs changes.

Also, I do not believe that POW is harmful to the ecology in general since people consume electricity anyways, there is no difference between you and me using computers, phones, and other electro stuff and some miners who is using ASICs or GPUs to mine btc or eth. Miners are not the primary consumers of electricity - but the whole population is.
