How A BlackRock ETF Could Destroy Ethereum

In this video, I discuss the risks of issuing an ETF for a proof of stake coin like Ethereum.
The biggest risk is that regulated entities that hold and stake the ETH (BlackRock, Coinbase, etc) could be pressured by the government that regulates them to censor transactions at the base layer. If you ruin the censorship-resistance of ETH, there's no good reason for people to use it:
-- It's not a good store of value
-- Transactions are slower and more expensive than using US fiat banking rails
-- It's no better than PayPal or Venmo when it comes to government or corporate censorship and freezing of funds
Under proof of stake, owning more coins gives you more control over the network, including the ability to censor wide swathes of transactions.
The end game for ALL "successful" proof of stake blockchains is centralization of validators among regulated entities like exchanges, custodians, ETF providers, etc
The world is going to have to learn the hard way what makes proof of work so special. And when they learn that, they are going to realize that there is only one proof of work coin that has global recognition, an immaculate conception, and network anti-fragility.
And that's Bitcoin.
There is no second best.
