POW is the soul of ₿itcoin.

Here’s the thing, anyone can switch ₿itcoin to POS today. The code is open source. That would create a hard fork. It happens all the time. That’s where alt coins come from. You could even call it Fedcoin, if you want to.

But I won’t join it. And neither will any bitcoiner that understands what they hold.

So switching from POW to POS is a mute point. We’ve already won.
