The author contests Houy's claim that killing a proof of stake currency costs nothing: on this platform the token's value is calculably predictable rather than merely a function of public opinion, and signaling an intention to buy tokens usually raises the price rather than triggering a race to the bottom.

Source quote, verbatim

However, in the current example, the value of the token is not merely tied to public opinion. The value of the token is calculably predictable. And when someone signals their intention to buy tokens—for whatever reason—the price usually goes up, not down.
