Isn’t his argument moot due to ethereum’s eventual transition to proof of stake
1 comments

I’m sure Vitalik will deliver we just have to wait (skeleton meme). That is to say I’ll believe it when I see it.
What hasn't he delivered on? Does he have any track record of delivering what's been promised? If I recall correctly, proof of stake already started to roll out this year.
To date? A scalable payment network with low transaction fees and a small environmental footprint.
That’s a bit disingenuous. Ethereum isn’t as static as bitcoin; they’ve been making steady progress. Proof of stake also has started rolling out already
The question as I interpreted it is "what has he not yet delivered on" - not "what has he promised to deliver on and appears to be making progress on, and has started rolling out, but is not yet broadly available" :)
Yes, let's rely on word play to make it seem that ethereum isn't being actively upgraded as we speak ;)

Kidding aside, I would think that most people understand "what has he not yet delivered on" as "he's completely broken his promise and he's no longer working on it". I didn't have a "yet" in that sentence.
