Well yes and no. Ultimately I think state channels could enable enough TX/s for both PoS and PoW. Those do not take the consensus liberties that DPoS does.
I have long disliked DPoS so that is where I am coming from. Big tradeoffs for things that could just be accomplished with tech on top of existing systems.
It is a tradeoff. Steem will probably be fine with DPoS. Doesn't mean there are not problems.
DPoS (Delegated Proof of Stake) is where people vote for delegates who then make decisions or hand out rewards. Do you think that will lead to a popularity contest and all the disadvantages that come with that?
do you think Steemit would work better on POS or POW? it would not be able to function. Too many transactions.

Question for you @kyle.anderson:

Yeah I mean I think there are a lot of problems with DPoS and who knows.
