Which is one of the many reasons Ethereum's proof of stake is so interesting.

Proof of Steak mearly gives power to whomever has established wealth.

It is a marginal improvement over PoW, when the PoW algorithm is not computationally useful outside brute force hash lotteries and capital infrastructure race speculation.

Both PoS and PoW implementations should have heavy scrutiny on the distribution and minting rules for the base supply.

I like the idea of Proof of Steak. He who controls the Filet Mignon controls the world!
Ethereum doesn't actually have proof of stake yet
