Reply to comment by Njaa in Ethereum’s energy switch saves as much electricity as entire Ireland uses | The success of The Merge concept may now serve as a roadmap to enable a switch from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake in Bitcoin. by chrisdh79

I wouldn't say a fork in 2017 is active development. Why would anyone with any stake in Bitcoin be interested in proof of work? It is as much of a joke as the original post.

This was the original claim that you reacted to. We all agree that Bitcoiners won't do it.

It seems that we now agree that they could do it.

Your last question is why they would do it.

These are all vastly different topics, but if you wanna talk about the merits of PoS, we can change the topic.
