I should have posted the link to the original post. Thanks for doing that. I agree the article didn't explain the situation well. The centralization risks are what struck me most, especially considering POS and the already centralized validators.
Yeah, there are definitely risks here. I think the problem stems more from ETH's dual purpose as a native token and as stake in the consensus mechanism.
Also, does Vitalik try to trigger Bitcoiners by intentionally putting TheDAO fork and the Bitcoin Cash fork in the same basket every chance he gets? TheDAO fork is similar to his BRL story, but the Bitcoin Cash fork was very different.

Very likely regarding DAO and BCH, although to compare the two only highlights ETH's status as a centralized security!
