I am somewhat cynical and believe the debt-laden countries and central bankers simply will not allow retail schmucks independence via crypto blockchains. Without interference, I believe BTC will climb to $ 150K in 2024 and $ 400-500K by 2028. If mining reward drops down to .00015 next halving. it appears I can mine around .25 BTC in 5 years with a 141TH XP. Still profitable factoring in .075/KHW based on the projected BTC price.

If they fork to POS, does this negate the 21 Million BTC max supply or will they contribute to the 21 million max supply?

Similar to ETH becoming a government-run POS disaster, I see Blackrock forking to a POS and commanding their lackeys in government to regulate miners into capitulation or bankruptcy. Thus gaining control over the purest form of cryptocurrency. It's really a crime the dregs of humanity who have debauched our currencies for centuries are now trying to usurp a truly functional financial system that affords us independence from the perpetual crooks.

Does this sound far-fetched?
Can a POS BTC and POW BTC truly co-exist?
