I’m just curious - if you were to try making a decentralized currency as a fun project, what mechanism would you use instead?

I’m someone who doesn’t really use it, but was fascinated with it before “blockchain” became a buzzword.

edit: proof-of-work. I have been out of the loop for years :)

My next question is are there downsides to proof-of-stake, and why has bitcoin not moved towards it?
