It's sad reading comments like this from bandwagoners who haven't read a single academic or technical whitepaper on the technology, let alone the hundreds of them that have emerged which prove / annotate / express / clarify, in exhausting detail, all of the "fundamental problems" that Bitcoin's PoW protocol have, as well as far superior approaches that are in the process of being implemented.
But it's cute. You like Bitcoin. You're a good cheerleader.
I've actually read every single paper on Bitcoin, on Proof of Work, and on Proof of Stake I've ever found. I've been involved in Bitcoin since mid 2010. What is sad is that you wrote what you just did as if that dismisses me, or as if you are in any way authoritative on the subject. Your snide passive-aggressive writing is not cute. I am not a Bitcoin cheerleader, and I'd just prefer not talk to anyone about Bitcoin. It's been years since I have done so, I no longer go to conferences or even talk to family members about Bitcoin, and it's much the same way I quit telling people about linux maybe a decade ago.
