The flip side of this though is that stakers can have their capital burned because of misbehavior. If a staker gets too entrenched and the other folks in the network don't want them around anymore, their stake can be slashed. Proof of work cannot destroy the equipment of a hostile miner, only wipe everyone's equipment out with an algorithm change.

If a staker gets too entrenched, by what mechanism will the minority slash the majority staker's stake?
