Have you ever wondered why most altcoins turned to PoS, while only a few good-old coins are still using classical PoW consensus? As much as people want to make money by "staking" their holdings, most cryptocurrencies are becoming less-decentralized over time. There's strong criticism on Bitcoin's high level of "energy consumption" compared to other cryptocurrencies being traded on the market today. Some say the cause of PoW being a rarity these days is because they aren't "carbon-neutral". Others say that PoW is "outdated", compared to coins using PoS which are faster and cheaper to use for day-to-day transactions.

If the number of PoS coins continues to grow, then Bitcoin will be the only decentralized cryptocurrency in the world. Should I be worried? What are your thoughts about this? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Smiley
