The global financial system runs on human consensus. That's how we got to where we are now.
Using physics/energy (proof of work) to come to consensus is an innovation. It should be explored.
Using human opinions (proof of stake) to come to a consensus is to repeat.

Bitcoin is now the only global payment system that won’t discriminate against anyone, regardless of their race, nationality, religion, politics, or actions.
This is going to become incredibly important in the coming decades.

At least now people should realize why CBDCs are a horrible idea. When you become an enemy of the state, which seems quite easy these days, all your money will be gone. #Bitcoin is the separation of money and state, CBDCs are the complete integration of money and state.
