    Which is why people are so horny for chains using proof of stake instead of proof of work

      How does proof of stake not become more expensive, slow, and power hungry the more people use it?

        In PoS the constraint on mining is proportional to the amount of tokens you own. Not the electricity/computational power you have.

        Tokens are confiscated if you mine dishonestly.
