Aside from playing devil’s advocate, do you have a sensible reason why it should be this way versus another way?

I would assume such a system is capable of facilitating fraud, so it's probably good to have some kind of financial hurdle you have to jump in order to use it? Not that having $25k or $50k is a guarantee that you aren't a fraudster, but I imagine there are a lot of would-be fraudsters who don't have that kind of cash on hand.

I do think this is a bit of a weak justification, though.

  • Funny enough this appears at face value to be the same idea behind proof of stake concensus protcals.... lololol

  • So basically the Twitter Blue argument. If scammers can make more than 50k out of it, they'll pay it gladly.
