Honest question from a non-crypto guy… "Sure, the sky isn't falling or anything, but wouldn't it be better if Bitcoin were proof-of-stake?" I mean is there any real advantage to PoW?

So many advantages. Proof of stake is like someone handing you a photo of a house when you buy it. Proof of work is someone handing you keys and letting you walk around inside.

Sorry. I don’t follow… Are you saying ETH stopped functioning when they went PoS? That they could only “look at a picture of” their ETH?

I’m saying that vitalik and other large stakers now actually own the house, and you just own the photo of it.
