Didn't the STEEM/HIVE fork show you the flaws of Proof of Stake? How 20-ish people could split a community in half without any care or concern for said community; with the only motive that they continue to be able to mine tokens and the circle jerk witness voting policy to approve fellow members of the HF24 Cabal. That is what Justin Sun, with all his flaws, really threatened not his, at the time, ground breaking atomic swap idea.
