At least ethereum is continously improving like moving to PoS while bitcoin is stuck in the past without any utility except payments which it's really bad at.

Sure ethereum yet has to show usability as well but it has a much better chance of this than bitcoin.

Bitcoin also has such a large amount of its coins in Satoshi's control that if he ever shows up and moves them or someone else is able to do it, it will probably crash the whole thing.

Not moving to PoS is good for bitcoin. PoS is a totally different model with different tradeoffs, not everything has to move to it.

For payments on Bitcoin, it is rocking with lightning. Time to catch up on that subject.

How is POS an improvement?
