First of all, the hype of different blockchains has garnered attention. People who fall into the hype hasn’t learned about the financial literacy and the risks of investing into those.

When Axie Infinity became popular in my country, influencers have started promoting the game and so-called scholarship, which is to refer to a new player. Within a few months of playing, people lost money. Influencers haven’t spoken about the players losing money.

Remember, investment into such blockchains carries a risk. Those are called the digital Ponzi scheme by some people.

    Defending a capitalist projects without evidence or justification is pretty much capitalist apologia.

    If you believe a coin on the scale of Ethereum can lie about whether it’s proof of stake or work, you have no idea what you’re talking about.

    I didn’t say that they lied about pos. I said it’s probably pos but we needn’t take them on they word about everything, and you’re continuing to insist I said that. And being “you have no idea what you’re talking about”.

      You didn’t downright say that they lie about being PoS, but you said that a third party must confirm it, which is an equally bonkers statement. You can check my reply to the other commenter for a small explanation on why that’s true.

        I think it’s super dangerous to take the developers’ word on their product. Probably it’s literally POS, but I’m not gonna believe all the hype without a disinterested confirmation.

        Asking for second party to confirm something is “equally bonkers”. Great job with the ableist slut. Comrade, you went to personal insults after the first comment.
