Cardano Contingent Staking

Selected claim, supporting its parent
Under extreme regulation, Cardano will be more resilient with Contingent Staking as opposed to 100% of SPOs being deemed non-compliant.
Pros
Cons
Pro claim 1
For those who are intent on fighting the authorities, consider the difference between a combatant who is rigid and inflexible versus one who is able to bend and adapt. I’m not a martial arts expert, but I’d say Cardano is better equipped to oppose regulation, and win over the long term, if it has contingent staking. While the lack of CS makes it inflexible w.r.t. regulation and therefore more likely to perish in the short term against a strong adversary.
Con claim 1, children below
Accepting delegation with CS will imply consent and make SPOs liable to maintaining accountability of their delegates. If there is no meaningful guarantee of identity of a delegate how will SPO be protected. A delegate could maliciously join a SPO and spoof credentials and put SPO at risk.
Con claim 2
So we are communicating or accepting submission to the rights of the individual before being defeated?
