@Neo_Spank thank you for writing this. I’ve been attempting to articulate my own concerns, without much luck. May I request you cross post this to [Contingent Staking is a beneficial extension for Cardano](https://forum.cardano.org/t/contingent-staking-is-a-beneficial-extension-for-cardano/114559/1)? Also, a copy to [https://www.reddit.com/r/cardano/](https://www.reddit.com/r/cardano/) would spread this far as well.  
Thank you again.
