⚒️ PROOF OF WORK is like a game of Catan. The more you build, the more you earn. You cooperate and trade with other players as much as you compete. All players end the game with more than they started.
🪙 PROOF OF STAKE is like a game of monopoly. The more you have, the more you get. Eventually one person gets it all and all others must pay rent.

Monopoly was designed as a zero-sum, winner-takes-all game.
It is based on the pre-industrial mentality that there is no wealth creation, only distribution of finite resources (like land).


Catan is a positive-sum game. There are benefits to cooperation. In fact trade between players is essential. Even specialisation and division of labour are rewarded.
It is based on basic Crusoe economics, with capital accumulation and compounding growth.
