This would only make the blockchain more resistant, 51% attacks practically impossible, Firo for example has implemented this, what would be the disadvantage?

        Monero should be in circulation and used. Not to be staked by investors.
The Nakamoto Consensus is well understood and simple. Increased complexity would always come with a larger attack surface.
