The idea that welfare states or socialist-leaning systems “never worked” doesn’t survive even a quick look at history. Many of the most prosperous, stable, and socially mobile societies were built with strong public investment, labor rights, and universal welfare.
* United States (1945–1975) — GI Bill, strong unions, high taxes on the rich → largest middle-class expansion ever
* Sweden (1932–1976) — universal welfare, low inequality, sustained growth
* United Kingdom (1945–1951) — NHS and welfare state laid the foundation for decades of stability
* West Germany (1950s–60s) — social market economy, rapid reconstruction and growth
* Finland (post-WWII) — education-first welfare model, high innovation and living standards

Sounds like an excellent solution. Just worry about yourself. What a terrific society that will be. America is halfway there and it’s I shithole.

And I thought the second amendment was to protect the country from being run by corrupt pedophiles.

And your solution is anarchy? Democratic elected governments are supposed to protect and work in the interest of the less fortunate people. The problem we’re seeing now, and the American government in particular is the result of a large uneducated group of people electing a rich greedy fascist pedofile to run the country - with the only goal to enrich himself - ironically the very problem to why a lot of Americans are struggling today.

Sorry all Canadians but it always feel pretty good when #can exits a hockey championship early :)

Latvia beating Canada (3-2) in the world juniors is absolutely wild. Canada has almost half a million junior hockey players and Latvia doesn’t even have 5k… #hockey #worldjunior #can #lat

0-0 after 40min. Tension is rising, the tournament will be a fiasco for whoever loses. Who dare to take initiative in the final period?

First period: SWE 0 - 1 USA
Great game and atmosphere. Pretty even game; Sweden started really well, and USA finished better. Hope Sweden can turn it around in the second!

Hmm I think I get where you're going. I've not dug enough into POS to really question that but I'm not sure I can really buy into Bitcoin being just tied to the physical realm. There's still the issue of a few owning the majority of the coins, in combination with a few being the majority minors? Meaning they pretty much control the speed of the network and the fluctuations of the market price?
I can see why POS together with some sort of abstracted democratic system would be less appealing though.

Thanks, that's a very interesting way of thinking at the energy impact. It makes sense. At the same time I can also feel that Bitcoin itself is also in some way governed/controlled by a number of hosts/nodes in combination with all of the miners. So the argument that POS are governed by a few rich would apply for Bitcoin as well no?
The rest of the Bitcoin network would take direct effect if the few majority holders or the major minors decided to do something?

Thanks Lou, that's a much more thoughtful answer! It's true that the energy itself can be produced in ways that involve less pollution but I guess it's still a pretty big issue for many that it's so energy inefficient. If you just look at the charts I think many are asking themselves if that amount of energy is better spent somewhere else. Especially now where the climate has been rapidly changing because of human. But then again you need to weight that against the current system of fiats...
I didn't fully understand your critic of POS but something along the lines of still being a non-tangiable system with a governance model. I think I need to read up on the core mechanics of the popular POS coins though.

Well I though I'd give a non-centralized institution a try first ;) So far it's been a mix of friendly tech savvys and snarky bitcoin protectors.

I think it's a pretty valid consern since Bitcoin still have a fair bit of catching up with traditional fiat currencies in term of adoption, and it already consumes the energy of a small country. Now picture what that would mean if everyone was using the network for every transaction. Again I'm far from an expert but to my ears that's a pretty big challenge.
From what I've understood about Polkadot it's quite far from a fiat as it's also a decentralized ledger, so why would that be so bad in comparison to Bitcoin?
*also you sound a bit angry, did I offend you?

How is POS and fiat related? Excuse my incompetency I've just started to dig in these matters and appreciate all the guidance. When I read about POS vs POW the former seems like he better approach because of the low energy footprint. If used correctly, random selection of transaction validator should be as secure as hardware crunching no? And if you're worried about a few having many stakes to vote and as such gains a lot of power the same can be said about bitcoin and the few who owns a lot of the mining rigs?

2023-08-23 19:22:34 UTC

- reply

So why is POW better than POS?

2023-08-23 19:15:48 UTC

Why is Bitcoin, with proof-of-work, in a general sense considered as a better alternative to say Polkadot that is using "proof-of-stake"? Isn't an established fact that number crunching that is " proof-of-work" is a really energy inefficient solution? #bitcoin #polkadot #crypto

I think it has more todo with the fact that the userbase on nostr is a fair bit smaller than on other social platforms and has a more homogeneous crowed. I mean we're pretty much all here because we don't enjoy the other platforms. I also don't think not risking a ban enables friendlier communication. There are a lot of stupid people and stupid people do stupid shit, to put it frank. Time will tell how well the platform handles misuse.
