Seems like ETH is actually going ahead with POS for their blockchain after all. I could be completetly wrong of course but this shines a massive light onto this idea of efficent processing of the blockchain.
Seems they are reducing the ETH reward for POW work to balance it out, so thats a pretty change that I thought would not be going ahead till 2019 if at all.
As far as bonuses and all that for this burn idea, I think in the end it balances out anyway. The real gain for either side of these two blockchains will come from development and over time, anything temporary just gets discounted by the market anyway. If theres a bonus it'll likely be evened out in the price, those who want to hold and have faith in either side will see the results eventually but it'll probably take time. I hope overall POS gains more attention and usage over POW. I do think the energy demands to POW is coming too close to the actual price that it might cause some waves, interference say I dont know how but I think POS gains overall.
A capitalist market is competetive and favours efficency purely by arbitrage and iteration which puts the tide or tailwind in our favour. There is no artifical support for us, thats a plus and minus and Im interested if in the end the most efficent enterprise is the winner in all this
