No it’s pretty much how the current system works. It’s the time value of money. Nothing we can change about that. It’s just more efficient to be decentralized an digital than a huge legacy financial system.

You can’t argue that interest; the single biggest invention of financial history, is a bad thing.

Not really? In POW it’s: whoever has more computational power gets to collect fees. In POS it’s whoever has a larger stake gets to collect fees.

POS works just how interest works. It’s basically replacing pointless computation (work) for a system of collateralized debt.

You stake your crypto to validate transactions. You get paid to validate transactions. If you’re found falsifying transactions (essentially impossible to hide) your crypto is gone and you lose your entire investment.

But why does that matter? People with stake/work don’t have any additional control of the network. It’s still just as decentralized.

99% could be in one pool and it would be no different in terms of centralization
