> this is the first time I've heard someone trying to say PoS would lead to MORE decentralization.
As time goes by, the number of people holding a token goes up, and competition among the staking services goes up, which results in more decentralization.
Take for instance on Tezos, with better internet we can eventually get RPi connected to Starlink which can be installed by the users themselves and start staking.
As hardware technology progresses, PoW goes in the opposite direction. Initially anyone can mine, but later only the most specialized optimized hardware will mine irrespective of the number of people holding the token.
