While some believe Ethereum's upcoming move to proof-of-stake (PoS) could push the platform to eventually overtake Bitcoin (BTC), others are taking the opportunity to make sarcastic remarks on Twitter, triggering a rebuttal by Vitalik Buterin, a co-founder of Ethereum.

In a tweet, Bitcoiner Nick Payton called it “Proof-of-Stakers” and argued that voting to change properties on PoS platforms proves PoS assets are securities.
