Is it some form of hidden g@y propaganda? I'm straight, so I'm out

Have you just attempted to insult ~10% of BTT users?
Of course not, everyone has a right to choose what they prefer, bicoin is cool, let's furk it!

PoS security mechanism is that of a private enterprise.
PoS = PoW with one level of indirection removed.
Instead of
Dollars -> Mining rig -> Cryptocoins
PoS offers
Dollars -> Cryptocoins
Comparison with a private enterprise is incorrect because you compare only few aspects ignoring the others.
I could say that Bitcoin = FED because miners print money if I followed your tactics.
So you equate PoS cryptocoins to dollars, which is correct as both have stakeholders at the center of their security model, while recognizing that PoW makes a difference, which I fully agree with.
