"But... but... won't PoS just empower the rich further?" [a debunking]

So... I've seen people raise this question over and over... So let's look at this realistically.

What do you need to make profits on PoS Ethereum:

• A low-power server
• A very good Internet connection
• 32 ETH (~100,000 USD @ May, 2021)

Who it's realistically open to: well-to-do people (aka. quote-unquote "rich").

In contrast...

What do you need to make profits on PoW Ethereum?

• Access to almost free electricity -> ie. your own power plant(s) or government subsidies
• Access to state of the art mining ASICs -> ie. your own chip engineering and fab shop
• Access to cheap maintenance -> ie. your own server parks

Who it's realistically open to: literal billionnaires
