Bitcoin is true from the root
Satoshi did not pre-mine or even fast mine bitcoin – we can observe the timestamps.

What we actually see is the deliberate throttling back of hashpower as the network bootstrapped itself.https://t.co/HyCKTE2j0j
Patoshi almost never mined blocks less than 5 min apart.

Vitalik responds to circular logic on PoS
In less than 3 days the Bellatrix upgrade starts the Eth merge process.
— Peter McCormack🏴☠️ (@PeterMcCormack) September 3, 2022
Good to remember the fundamental fallacy of PoS is its simple circular logic. Still can't quite understand why some ETH people refuse to acknowledge this.https://t.co/5Uf66qZizZ
Because it's not a circular argument, it's a spiral argument. People with coins at time T secure the transactions at time T+1.
— vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) September 3, 2022
Spiral arguments and circular arguments sometimes look similar to untrained observers, but they are fundamentally different.
The circular logic of PoS:
— Bob McElrath (@BobMcElrath) August 4, 2021
1. The list of valid transactions determines who has coin.
2. People with coin decide which transactions are valid.
3. GOTO 1
This should be enough for anyone to abandon the idea. https://t.co/MHwbVMI7jz
Can ETH defy the bear market post-merge?
After the merge
— John Brown (@john_j_brown) September 3, 2022
– PoS advocates will pump ETH to show success
– ETH-PoW advocates will pump ETHW to make it thrive
– BTC-advocates will pump BTC to avoid flippening
– L2 advocates will pump their token as an alternative
Only problem: We are in a bear.
