i was wandering in the future can bitcoin switch to proof of stake?

It depends on if Bitcoin is truly decentralized. If it is then it will switch to PoS because PoS is better (from economical point of view, not ideological) than PoW. If Bitcoin is actually ruled by devs and Bitcoin magnates (=centralized) then it will always be PoW.

what makes PoS "better"?
