Sorry to say this, but what you think doesn’t matter. It is either secure or it isn’t. Given the added complexity of PoS that turns it into a Rube Goldberg machine and the fact that this has never been done on the scale of ETH, we have zero idea if it will work or not. Anyone with a valid hack certainly is not going to release it before it goes public mainnet and that is terrifying. We can try to be positive about it all and hope for the best, but that is about it. On the other hand, we know PoW works and has been proven secure. Despite the ESG arguments, there is a need for a secure chain.
