argument free exposition by a dilettante<p>&gt; Lately I’ve been drilling down on the difference between Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake. Why does it matter?<p>&gt; I used to think it didn’t matter too much.<p>oh what changed?<p>&gt; At the risk of expending too much airtime on it here in the portfolio update, I will direct you to two episodes of The Investors’ Podcast network with Preston Pysh: [...] It’s over two hours long and it takes Lowery a long time to lay the foundation for his case. Hang in there. Once he squares the circle you’ll get it. When I finished this episode it gave me absolute clarity on why this is such a fundamental issue and why Proof-of-Work is an unassailable and superior innovation vs. Proof-of-Stake in every way. At least it is when you want to create a base layer for sound money.<p>oh nice the proof is too long to fit in the margin. ok ill go watch hours of podcasts until &quot;i get it&quot;
