The latest rumour going around about the Ethereum merge is a dump after, you are wrong if you are one of them, Ethereum going proof of stake and fixing the high gas fee have automatically turn this project into a GOLD, every whales will want to stake and enjoy the rewards, even if a dump happens after the so called fork it won't last.

Those who are saying ethereum will be dumped are only jealous to see that ethereum can be better , i guess that comment may come from miners or competitors of ethereum who didn't like ethereum gone into the POW. This  will make all of them can't mine it anymore.
I have no problem with those people. Ethereum just like another new silver like bitcoin. Inflation will be stopped and that's it.

I felt the same way too @asriloni, now many Ethereum wannabe will stagger on their feet as if something huge hit them, they might not even matter that much anymore unlike before because everyone kept saying the Ethereum Gas fee was its biggest issue, finally many new projects will see ETH blockchain as the right place to be.

So it will become new BNB, ADA, DOT, SOL, AVAX, TRX, ATOM and dozen more? Smart contract platform based on POS consensus. Man its not like they are about to create something new. That they solve problem that was never solved before. They just solve a problem that only they had. There are many cheap and fast SC platforms.

What was the advantage of eth over dozens of other projects was high decentralization thanks to POW at the expense of higher transaction costs. Now it will be just like other POS coins. Nevertheless, it may increase project value in long term (years) but its not guaranteed. Whats much more probable is that the "buy rumours sell the facts" will come true again and we will see massive dump (for months). Just like ADA released its product (after 5 years of pumping based on promises) in SEP 2021 (?) and was one of the biggest loosers of this bear market.

Lol, the Truth is Ethereum cant solve it all, other smart contract projects have something new that has proven to be bit better than Ethereum and new smart contract projects will keep solving problems of the Eth killers, its simple as that..

We would not know, it's not happening yet. We are just speculating here.
It will depend on how the market will react after the merge. You are looking at just the whales but what about the retail investors and those who have been clinging to their Ethereum for a long time and expecting something far greater will happen?
We have different opinions about this and I have been seeing bad and good reactions in different people.
IMO, I will keep my Ethereum no matter what happens because I can still see it as being one of the top contenders in the crypto industry.

Ethereum is great, and has giving us alot in the Blockchain community, it was the first public smart contract ever before other projects joined and embraced the development and are even better than eth.
When we were waiting for them to solve this high gas fee has passed and as such most good and quality projects have adopted to other options out their which are the bsc, Sol, Trx, Polygon etc. Eth will be scars and more valuable if they can give us something different again rather than what we are seeing on other smartchain.

I am a number one believer of ethereum, and i believe that after the high gas fee on ethereum network resolve ethereum will surely rise, there are so many reason why ethereum is always rank #2 on CMC even if there are a lot of network that is very low on transaction fee they are still rank next to ethereum it is simply because many people still trust on ethereum than others.

Don't you know how popular ETH is in the crypto market? ETH is the first pioneer of smart contracts where many quality Tokens are built on the ETH network, while others just follow what ETH is doing by minimizing fees for transactions.
So after this merger ETH has been able to solve the problems that have existed so far, of course this is a positive impact considering that most people who use the ETH network are just whales but now everyone can follow.

Do you think that this merge is not the only reason why Ethereum is hype these days? Even Bitcoin is dumping while the merge will just change the protocol of Ethereum to PoS which will make it prone to manipulation. Give me a solid argument on how will ETH will gonna beat all odds of dumping this market by just a simple merger? They might be an improvement on overall performance of ETH but still ETH blockchain is still inferior to other new blockchain in terms of TPS and transaction fee.

Where will the new demand will come from while ETH is already existing and hype for so many years? I don’t see any game changing improvement of ETH that will end this bear market.

Staking is becoming the thing today and everyone wants to have their share to have a passive income. But when PoS comes, this will make the richer rich as they will have the biggest share if they're holding a lot of Ethereum. We will know what will happen next after the merge but if we're talking about long term, ETH is still strong and likely to stay on its place because many will come back for its purpose of having one of the cheapest fees in the market and that will create volume.

HahaHa i do aggree with you, eth will actually pump if merge successfully but what I do concern about is what is gonna happen with ETH Layer 2 and other chain that already fast like BNB Chain FTM or AVAX

Dumps can happen at any time, whether or not there is an Ethereum merger, especially if they want to play around with the price and the market. But like you said, it won't last long because the price will go up again and hopefully, there will be a pump that can help the price go up high. But for staking, it's only for people with a lot of ETH because it requires a lot of ETH. But we can try to benefit from other means. But remember, that is just a prediction and no one will know if that will happen or not.

Their continuously improving their features and as time goes by, their platform is getting convenient. the reason why they are so competitive in the crypto market nowadays unlike the other top altcoins their not improving at all that's why in this bearish market, their price will likely remain until bitcoins recover its price. ETH on the other hand doesn't need that kind of price movement because it can carry its own bucket to the top with the help of its constant development and team dedication.

I think you need to do your research.

1. The merge does not scale Ethereum, it moves it to POS.
2. POS funds are not unlocked at the merge, that will happen a year from now.
3. Sharding is on the roadmap for completion by 2032 and this sharding is for data used by L2s, not for transactions.

The hype surrounding the merge has peaked and we have entered a sell the news scenario. I am pivoting into MATIC and ICP, projects that actually scale for real world use. You won't ever catch me paying 500 usd transaction fees on Ethereum again now that there are better alternatives.

Yes, it is very difficult for many users to collect 32 ethereum to participate in staking, so they are practically cut off from staking. But staking plays a slightly different role in ethereum than in regular staking.
Certainly, after a successful upgrade, ethereum will soon grow in all directions. There is not even a doubt about this. I don’t even quite understand why some people doubt the prospects of this coin.

That actually has the sense but we can't assume also that the pump will continue as the corrections seem inevitable as well. It is for now we have seen the surge, price moving high together with Bitcoin and I don't just think about it solely because of the merge - as I consider this a usual scenario. In fact, the market doesn't just live in bear season, recovers will come in time. That can be a market coincidence, I see this event become a tool to market recovery and people seem hopeful for the upcoming days as it was getting closer.

Whales own Ethereum, if not why is 32 ETH required for staking? This is wrong it shows that the big players will be benefiting more from Ethereum than small time investors like myself, lets see what happens as for me my expecting is very low.

Years of issues with a higher fees, and if they are able to solve this problem especially with the merging, most probably we will see a significant change with ETH and that demand might really increase over time.

Right now we are seeing a good pump with ETH and its price is able to reach the $2k mark again though there's a pullback but I think this is just temporary, and the trend will continue once we saw the success of the merging. Many are hyping the market right now actually, not just with ETH but most of the good coins. Lucky to those who bought ETH at the price of $1k before, they made a good profit already.

I don't hate any tokens including ethereum but if the ethereum developers don't fix the exorbitant gas costs to fix there is no guarantee everyone will continue to support and hold a lot of ethereum because of this case but if they fix it soon maybe no one will waste it The wasted Ethereum so far.

Ethereum has a huge potential and we can't deny the fact that it's one of the most trusted coins of all time. However, the fact that developers can't fix their gas fee issues will also continue to hinder the adoption and continuous growth of Ethereum. It has been a long-time issue and I wonder why they're still having a hard time fixing it. Investors are now switching to other networks and we can't blame them for that.

Hmm. Am I curious why it would be wrong to think of it that way? I guess it would dump in the short term, but it would still yield high returns in a long time since many people would use the coin to improve their projects further. We wouldn't know what would happen until we are there; as long as you know what you are doing, you wouldn't be affected by price changes like the volatility that we have now.

Etherum merge will make Ethereum more in demand, and yes it's not a rumor,
it's the same as the case of Binance launching its Binance smart chain, what happened?
yes ! BNB is going up, maybe this will happen to Ethereum

true, but because of that rumours the situation of ethereum in the market is affected as well, infact not just the ethereum the entire alts. Wherein it makes the current situation worse even the growth rate already show a positive sign because of some so called whales that trying to make progress..

Probably if it's really the season of green market its possible because no one can stop the ethereum to the moon again.  But on this current situation that there's no significant sign of bullish it's unpredictable.

I'm also positive about the value of ethereum increasing substantially after the September 19th program. The PoS would contribute to reducing transaction cost and ensure that we have a better energy efficient solution in the ethereum blockchain. I foresee more projects lunching under the ethereum smart contract.

That's while investors do take a big amount of risk. For someone to stake a coin that means it has gone through the development of the coin. Ethereum normally do well at any point in time of recovery time of cryptocurrency Bearish to bullish. So if Ethereum is doing well that means we have to know that soonest Bitcoin will accelerate to another stage of values.

Ethereum is the number 2 coin in the crypto market. And the price of this coin decreased a lot a few days ago, the reason is that the bear market was going on for 2-3 months, so the price of all the coins decreased. But since few days it is seen that its price is increasing a lot. And when the bull market starts, the price of all coins will increase suddenly. I hope.

As far as i know Ethereum will become deflationary once the merge has happened or sometime after that, this will make the existing Ethereum coins automatically even rarer and this should also be a driving force for the price in my opinion. I think that the price pump for Ethereum already happened after the news became public, that the merge now has an official date, so i don't really think, that there will be more big price pumps of Ethereum in the near future.
I am also not sure if people that have left the Ethereum network for the binance smart chain, solana or wherever they are now will come back to Ethereum once the fees are lower again, because in the end BSC and Solana just work as well as ETH and they already have low fees.

People saying that ETH will dump, I don’t get any reasons for this to happen.
All the recent features have shown that ETH will grow and I too agree on the points pointed in the OP.
ETH’s marketcap is sufficient to prove the capability of Ethereum. Also seeing the growing movement of Bitcoins, ETH will also grow following BTCs price. So it will be wise to hold and buy Bitcoins rather than selling it.
Let’s see what other people have opinion on this.

That's not on us to decide but for developers that want to build on those chains, I believe in the power of multi-chain utility so it won't matter much which platform or blockchain developers choose for themselves but, certainly, Ethereum will always take the lead.

But there is another important point that the Ethereum developer team cannot overlook, which is the energy consumed in the Proof of Work system far exceeds the Proof of Stake system. The world's policies tend to reduce energy consumption in general as a necessary step as long as the exploitation of clean energies is not currently sufficient to meet the planet's energy needs. Therefore, many legislations will aim to reduce the current consumption.

We had heard on more than one occasion and in different parts of the world about the possibility of banning Bitcoin mining activities for the same reasons, especially that Bitcoin is completely decentralized, meaning that the mining system can only be replaced by the consent of the miners themselves, which is not completely applicable in the example of Ethereum since there is A team of developers is working on updates and changes easier and faster.

Ethereum the merge will take place in september, of course this will create more demand than usual,
it has been proven that the price of Ethereum in the last 7 days has increased by 14% according to coinmarketcap,
very interesting to wait after the Ethereum Merge.

Yes, you are correct. People used to HODL precious and not give in to fiat right away in days long gone. Nevertheless, sentiments can change very quickly since markets are influenced by many factors, but I am most concerned with the lack of volume at the moment. No matter how the merge plays out, I believe the ETH ecosystem will continue to pump. Until either of those things happens, I'll ride the wave. It will take me until late September or early October to sell my house.

No particular crypto has proved itself to be an all-in-one, not even Bitcoin. There is an area of core competence for every token. Agreed, ETH can't solve all the issues there are but we can't take it away from it that it's a crypto with immense utility. In fact, one can say undoubtedly that ETH has developed this industry more than every other crypto. Its smart contract has helped so many tokens on board and this has led to the several choices we've in the industry to pick from today and that is encouraging healthy competition in the crypto space.

Everything will be fine after this process. This is one of the founders of the entire industry. Undoubtedly, the most important thing is to reduce the commission for gas, and this is what many people want. Blockchain is waiting for changes and I think they will only affect in a positive way.

You become a validator for having 32 eths and that's your contribution to the network and at the same time, you'll earn from it. There are pools already that people can join even if they have less than 32 eths. Eth is currently big and at the 2nd spot but after the merging, I think that it will grow bigger than before.
Well, I've just wished that I've bought more than 32 eth before but I've sold some during the bull run and I've got less than right now.

I definitely agree that we are in a situation where ethereum doesn't have the volume that it deserves. Right now we are on the verge of maybe one of the biggest developments in crypto world for the past 5 years, nothing as big as this happened since creation of bitcoin itself, and yet we do not see the hype for it.

I mean all of crypto people should be super hyped about this, and when the time comes we are going to see maybe 10k per ethereum, who knows? We should be quite happy about this situation. If not, then I am sorry to say this but there will be a lot of people who miss out on this profit chance and they are going to regret that they didn't buy it today.

Bitcoin is gold, ethereum is silver and it will remain like this. News saying gas fees are going to decrease strengthen ethereum on its position against another altcoins like binance coin, but not at a point of turning it into a menace to bitcoin, which is untouchable. Ethereum has a lot of potential once it becomes cheap and affordable to deal with in a daily basis and many projects will be still developed on its chain, so I guess investors thinking about holding ethereum for the future are doing a smart choice and won't regret later. Even during the hardest times ethereum has proved to be a good choice, now imagine how interesting it can become after the updates.

By the time of merge it is predicted to have a dump in the market, and we don't have exact answer for that. Any form of changes can happen. According to me, there is more chances of drop in the market value and gets pushed. Once after the merge I believe that ethereum will get more real-time usage similar to bitcoin. So, further we'll get into discussion of some country officially adopting ethereum as the legal tender.

Ethereum in this case will act as a locomotive that will pull other altcoins. Thus, in the wake of the Ethereum merger, the dominance of bitcoin may decrease, which will lead to a new season of altcoins. But what will happen after September 15, when the merger takes place, perhaps ETH expects a correction.

Let's hope so.
First, we need to see what it is capable of and if bugs are lesser, fees going lower, transaction speed is better then yes, many will buy it back. It's not just about the staking process and about the whales, there are a lot of users that do transact daily because of platforms using the ERC20 chain.
Different bridges that was created to avoid the high fees won't be necessary anymore.

I think the merge hype is already wearing off, as for those saying that etheruem will perform better than BTC where are you now, to it still looks like BTC is the driver of all other altcoins isn't it? Let's wait and see what happens after merge is complete.

ethereum and doge will lead this pump incase bitcoin price could stable above 23800. These coins has strong community , especially ethereum that will merge in near time. Alot hope put this upgrade especially on gas fee which is so far be main problem. Maybe hype still around ethereum , alot expectation it will stable above 2k.

Just a rumor for people who believe to much on ethereum maybe the best thing to do with that is invest only what you can afford to lose so that you will not get affected if your expectation on ethereum will not happen. And always take your profit as long as you can since sometimes manipulator hype you up that there will be more pump to come so that they will be the first one to secure and you will left behind picking up some little pieces coming from dump.

I can only agree that those people are surely jealous of those who have Ethereum stored already and if you plan to buy then the fee is not low compared to other crypto like Bitcoin though I don't think it will stay like that since the team is working hard to make it small the same as before it become high fee. If you say that Ethereum will have more deman then it's a good sign that the price may increase but as you can see the people who owns Ethereum is already massive.

Moving to POS alone will not solve the high gas fees but the opposite will happen in the long run and there was a hypothetical questions being asked by Lefteris Karapetsas, the founder of Rotki in Twitter about how major players will deal with regulatory pressure on censoring the protocol with their validators and Brian Armstrong the Coinbase CEO responded that they will be shutting down the staking service they provide, in case there is a regulatory pressure which is a highly likely scenario  ;).

What ever be the situation, POS will be centralized and time will prove the scalability issues in POS when you are handling large number of transactions.

But it abandoned one of the basic factors why ETH has the current price, the mining cost.  So in the long run it will be cheaper to produce ETH thus it will affect the market price.  Since the market is a competition who sold cheaper will be bought first, then sellers who are possibly huge stakers will compete for the price selling their accumulated ETH in much less price.

Ethereum stands next to bitcoin and this makes it strong over rest of the altcoins in the market. There is regular updation and as a result to the growing demand the merge is being planned. During the merge there'll be dump and further the bounce in the price takes place. This can be of different reasons. The market moves will be upside or downward, and this completely based on how successful the merge have taken place.

All crypto market is in bear condition so it's normal when we see a dump after the merge since the crypto market is recovering slowly we're still seeing some correction until this year's end I guess. If Ethereum dump really low then it's our chance to buy it so when the staking goes live we can increase our portfolio through staking.

The advantage that ethereum has over other platforms and coins is probably enough to keep it in second place only behind bitcoin, but it is not clear if this move is the correct one, because now the ones that are going to benefit the most out of this are the ones that have a lot of coins already and this could cause that a great deal of people decide to move to other platforms because they are not going to like to see a minority earning all the profits while they earn nothing while staking their coins.

It's true that in bear market situations it's perfectly normal to see crypto prices fall, so whatever causes Ethereum to fall, I am very optimistic that
Ethereum will be able to recover again. Moreover, Ethereum has always been ranked second under Bitcoin, meaning that until now Ethereum is still
the best altcoins. Therefore, the decline in the price of Ethereum will make the demand for Ethereum increase, because many investors will buy
Ethereum when the price is low. So for now it is very good to collect Ethereum, we can hold in our personal wallet or stake Ethereum is also very
profitable to do. Some people will regret just being a spectator for not daring to buy Ethereum when the price drops, because they think Ethereum
will never recover.  Ethereum is a top coin that has an excellent track record, so the future is definitely bright.

yeah it's true at all, bitcoin is always become a coin that was driving the whole of market. People are thinking without consider how strong bitcoin and hype was just temporary. People are always thinking changing consensus will change everything but they didn't even understand how it will be working. They think changing consensus meant changing whole of structure in ethereum network like scalability

Its' not caused by ethereum that was triggering the bearish trend but it's caused by mtgox issue that was making so many people feel worry. I have no problem with ethereum at all since ethereum will always be going to the bottom along with bitcoin and whole of crypto market due to the bearish trend. The mtgox dump may make it different as it can trigger the situation to be even worse. Don't you aware about this?

ofcource it will. because most of crypto community is waiting for merge. if they would feel merge is better then people will start to buy more. And it could be a reason for a  another bull market too

ethereum merging will be released soon and there is a lot of bad news out there about ethereum merging will dump price etc. but to me it's just bad news from someone who doesn't like ethereum coins who has proven that ethereum deserves to be even better in the future.
and now there are a lot of new ethereum enthusiasts and they are still waiting and will buy more to invest in the long term.
i firmly believe that after the merging of the ethereum network, in the future ethereum will reach very high ATH

Personally, I can say that the Ethereum coin is the most promising coin to invest in. I can also say that the Ethereum coin is one of those coins that you need to understand, as it can bring great profits. I always solve problems only with the Ethereum coin.

That's true, the mtgox deal is getting to a point that people are worried about not just one small part, but more like billions of dollars. I still think that it won't happen that way, but it does feel like there is a good chance it could be done in smaller parts piece by piece. This will of course eventually level out the market and not going to really crash it. Which means that people made too much noise out of nothing.

The amount of money that mtgox could have caused a trouble, was smaller than the amount we already dropped just because of the news. That's our biggest problem, news about potential danger causes the price to drop more than the danger itself and that's stupid.

Isn't it though that Ethereum developer also corrected that mentality that the merger will not solved the high gas fees?

You can read all the misconceptions here: https://cointelegraph.com/news/the-merge-top-5-misconceptions-about-the-anticipated-ethereum-upgrade

The whole market is dumping not just Ethereum, so we have this dumping for whatever reasons, maybe it was the Mt Gox coins or the news that the US is looking at the Bitcoin mining as an energy and coal issues, or even the war in the background is still affecting us.

People are hoping for the fees to be lower but guess what, they are somewhat hopeless as for many attempts, it never happens. Maybe some people are a little bit excited and buying more ETH but I wasn't confident enough that this would help to cut a huge share of the fees as miners may not feel good about this idea as these fees are their only hope for them to survive.

Well, on the other side, ETH will still keep its higher demand without this event.

all of us know this is best layer 1 chain and alot important update will come. Buying eth for long term was good option for us , recent ethereum price was looks strong if compared  previous price with same bitcoin price. Next months will be ethereum momentum to take its market capitalization from other layer 1 project. Smart contract deployed hopefully will increase again.

I agree with you, regarding the potential growth of ethereum demand. The value of ethereum may increase substantially because whales would be interested in the staking benefits and as such we may have less dumping and since miners are no longer rewarded, this would also contribute to lesser dumping.

It was not the whales alone, but it was because many people are coming into crypto having an interest in Ethereum. It naturally gain higher demand knowing that this coin is worth investing and besides, it was the most recommended altcoins in the market, and it is not surprising anymore. Sooner, when the bull season comes we can definitely expect a price rally together with high demand.

You got to be wrong with this mate, miners will gain rewards as long as there is continuous use and ETH transactions in the market. And definitely, this is won't affect the dumping case as it will happen no matter what we do.

There is a positive thing from a more expensive transaction fee in Ethereum, which is only a large and serious project that will use the ERC20 network, and if we look at the facts in the market some large projects can be successful and last long, this is what makes ETH demand never go down like other coins.

The Ethereum Foundation explains in its blog that "The Merge is a change of consensus mechanism, not an expansion of network capacity, and will not result in lower gas fees" - https://ethereum.org/en/upgrades/merge/#misconceptions
Therefore, be sure to remember this so as not to be disappointed after the merger.

Correct, if we think about the amount of coins that could be dropped to the market at the same time is not really that important, especially if we consider the daily volume of bitcoin, however the threat itself is enough to cloud the judgment of people and make them think that an absolute catastrophe is coming, this creates FUD and as we know if enough people believe it then this will cause a major downturn in the market, which is exactly what we are seeing at the moment.

Had it been Ethereum continued with her low fees transactions as it were before, other blockchains like BnB, polygon, Avax, Tron and many more won't have amassed much on crypto space. High transaction fees made from Ethereum made way for other blockchains to display their fast and lower rate of transaction costs.
Inasmuch I can say, cryptocurrency is open for every project to compete and display her full potential in the crypto market.

After years of hodl and waiting for the ethereum merge to commence, do you expect the whale to dump Ethereum, no I guess cos they would like to stake and enjoy the reward as you have already asserted.

maybe, because PoS will change everything, from Gas Fees to their ecosystem,
there is a staking feature there, and of course there is a lot of demand because many want to stake Ethereum,
I'm sure Binance will also support the staking feature for ethereum in the future

In a word, the demand for Ethereum is after Bitcoin. Ethereum is the 2nd coin of coin marketcap. It is a coin of many trusts. Everyone compares this coin after Bitcoin. The biggest thing is that at the beginning of the bear market, after the price of all coins went down, the price of Ethereum also went downBut after some days its price started increasing again but all other coins or tokens hardly increased in price. Hopefully this coin is actually a very good coin that will go much further in the future.

Ether is the first altcoins ‍and there isn't a single person in crypto who doesn't know about it. We've had a lot of things, but the latest is that Ether is moving forward in his track. There are many updates are waiting for this reason we saw a few days ago what effect it had on the bear market. Not just whales, Investors of all stripes are drawing attention to Ether. Many speculate that Ether may soon cross its all time high price.

https://learn.block6.tech/ethereum-foundation-adopts-d-bonds-erc-3475-standard-to-take-defi-to-the-next-level-d5aa23d2271e
Ethereum Foundation Adopts D/Bond’s ERC-3475 Standard to Take DeFi to the Next Level
"D/Bond created a new standard to introduce bonds and add value to improve Ethereum’s existing infrastructure and ecosystem. It is now accepted by the Ethereum Foundation, the network and ecosystem’s main supporter."

The imminent merger of ETH has already split the community into two camps. Some think, that after the merger there will be a panic and ETH will lose a lot in price, the value of coin will fall below $700, up to $500. The other side says, that after merger the price of ETH will reach $4000 till the end of the year. This all sounds more like manipulation and FUD. Personally, I'm of the opinion that after the merger, the price of ETH could still experience some volatility for a while, and in both directions, I would buy some ETH if the price goes down to $1000. In the current market realities, that's quite possible.

binance will support ethereum staking if it be, as major coins intheir exchange, every update from ethereum developer team will supported and its happen to other projects too. if this migration to POS bring positive impact to gas fee,i am believe there will more smart contract deployed in ethereum chain.  developers team will back to ethereum again , its effected to price too.

You need to read about the existing misconceptions arising from the upcoming merger, which were provided by the Ethereum Foundation - https://ethereum.org/en/upgrades/merge/#misconceptions I have previously indicated this link, but apparently it is not enough. You should not expect a reduction in gas fees, since "The Merge is a change of consensus mechanism, not an expansion of network capacity, and will not result in lower gas fees"

Well, im quite not agree with your opinion. Proof of Work coin is the most sustainable coin in cryptocurrency.
Mining devices such as ASIC miners and GPU Cards sales are able to monitor, so we know the coin is decentralized or centralized.
It is different with Proof of Stake coin which unable to monitor because anyone can monopolized the mining reward by buying the coin as much as possible to stake for mining.

if indeed the developer of Ethereum failed in the ethereum merge of course this would make all parties annoyed!
I'm sure of that, even though many people want Ethereum to have a cheap gas fee,
if the Gas fee for Ethereum doesn't change, then there is a possibility that it will dump and demand will decrease.

I agree with you, Ethereum has a great future especially if they can fix  the high gas fee. Those who hold huge amount of ethereum now will surely gain huge profit sooner or later. The merge and upgrade in ethereum blockchain must have a good result  or else it will destroy the trust of the people.

I don't like Ethereum, and I always choose other platforms, but it's me... Even though I don't like it I think it has a future, and probably will rise in popularity and price! I don't know how, and I am not sure why some people still stick to Ethereum (one of the reasons is probably the one about Ethereum and all those tokens made a lot of millionaires), some other platforms are much better! I say that as an ordinary user...  We will see the future, but Ethereum devs must get serious if they don't wish to be overruled by some other platforms, which can happen in the next 5-10 years!

Same here, I used to like it better than LTC and dogecoin but when the problem with the high gas fees arise, I shifted to cheaper and faster coins.  I also don't know why lots of projects still stay on the ETH network when there is already an available alternative that is more advance and user-friendly than ETH and if they failed to fix their gas fee, I believe more and more people will move away from them.  The illusion of getting more demand from this merging will fade away after the merge is done and the major problem of the gas fees isn't solved.

Ethereum does not fix gas fees automatically, but gas fees will automatically decrease depending on how busy the blockchain is. If the transaction rate is higher, the gas costs will automatically be higher.
At the same time, if the price of Ethereum is high then the gas costs are also high, because the gas costs are taken from Ethereum. High because we measure in USD, if we see Ethereum issued remains the same when Ethereum price is low.
If one day the price of Ethereum is high, and the level of blockchain activity is high, then gas costs will automatically be high.

Many will want to participate in the new eth pos mining and create groups to make nodes so the demand for eth will grow considerably and therefore also its value

I think as of 2022, mining cryptocurrencies has died down not even the new ETH pos mining will change this fact

and by the way September is known to be a bearish month so this isn't the best to bring in demand speculation at the moment.

That's one positive way of looking at this, and if I remember very well... low transactions on the ethereum network does invite spamming which we have seen several times but with high TX fees only legit and serious projects will use the network.

Technically, Ethereum is the blockchain network that powers Eth tokens, Ethereum’s native token. Eth and Ethereum are commonly used interchangeably. Ethereum’s blockchain also allows for new tokens to be created which serve specific purposes.....

Many factors affect the market supply and demand for Ethereum. As stated previously, the market supply and demand for Eth tokens is what solely determines the price of Ethereum,

> Media coverage plays a large role in stimulating demand for cryptocurrencies. While most mainstream media covers Bitcoin, few have yet to broadcast Ethereum to the masses.

> Developers can code smart contracts on Ethereum to create decentralized applications that typically host their own ERC tokens. Regardless, Ethereum tokens are still needed to transact on Ethereum’s blockchain, further increasing the demand for Eth.

Yes this is huge success for Ethereum to be a Proof of stake. Fee will be very low after this merge but biggest question is that how they will handle the high transaction during merge. All NFTs and Token will be converted from Pow to Proof of stake . There will be large transaction int this day. Ethereum is not high price and I think it's worth to buy some at that price.

Their will be huge demand in the Ethereum.Because ethereum was good coin in the total available altcoin in the market,the trusted people will inverse their money in Ethereum.Some knowledge less people will invested in fake token and few less potential token.It’s leads to loss of their own money.

There has always been such an opportunity to invest in Ethereum and it was not necessary to wait for a merger for this. But now it is difficult to predict how the price will change after the merger. It is possible that those who bought ETH before the merger with the sole purpose of getting ETHW for free will dump Ethereum immediately after this event.

Once after merger the price can turn bullish or downwards. The market is highly unpredictable for the above said reason. However with the long term profit focus it is good to invest amidst the merger scheduled to take place within two weeks. Once after the merger the transaction costs and speed of transaction will get boosted. This will add more demand in the market which too can push the price.

In fact, the Ethereum merger is the unification of the protocol of the main POW network, which now exists with the protocol of the POS test network, as a result of which there will be only one Proof-of-Stake protocol. Therefore, the merger has nothing to do with reducing gas fees.

Money attracts more people in ETH. Sure staking is going to make the stakers richer. The decentralization doesn't even matter as long as stakers get their share of profit. ETH will have its demand. But what happens when regulators are going to also demand screening transactions even blocking wallets at the protocol level?

If we complain about KYC because it negates the crypto ideology, what chance do users have in protocol regulations?  We'd be back to square one.

Ethereum is a cryptocurrency that is getting a lot of attention in the crypto world. In my opinion, Ethereum will get a lot of demand, but we have to be careful that there won't be a sell-off once the merger is complete to offset the risk of volatility and other issues from above and I believe it will continue to garner more interest and momentum. So don't just sell all your ETH on news forks. Be careful, and perhaps hold onto Ethereum in the hope that the price will rise before, during and after the fork is implemented.

before getting more demand ethereum will also have to face adjustments to what it goes through because ethereum will go to its latest version with leaner gas and faster transactions. but we don't know what happens when it starts, whether ethereum is fine or will be a lot of adjustments.

I really hope that after the fork of eth, the price of eth can soar again
looks like the eth holders will be smiling big again
better take this opportunity to buy more eth

and it's just a rumor that doesn't know when it happened. gas costs on the Ethereum network have dropped drastically and by far the ethereum network is the fastest. I don't know if everyone is still thinking about these rumors or not, for sure ETH is the best altcoin in keeping prices during the current bearish phase.

I think the hype for merging has faded, because for those who say that ETH will perform better than Bitcoin where you are now, and still look like Bitcoin is the driver of all other altcoins. now Let's wait and see what happens after this merge is done.

yes, I agree with your opinion.. I think the ethereum team has worked optimally by making transaction fees down and back to normal as before. and this shows that ethereum is a gold coin that we must have, and in my opinion about the various negative assumptions that have been present but in my opinion they are just empty and meaningless assumptions. we will see together the price increase of ethereum in the future.

But in fact, Ethereum dumps after the Ethereum merger. Of course this is not only the effect of the merger of Ethereum but because the price of Bitcoin also experienced a dump. But the Ethereum merger does not show the number of requests to be more. Right now the price of Ethereum is really dropping. A PoS system that doesn't provide the best solution for Ethereum miners at the moment.

I think that this is debatable. But it seems that comparing to the tech of other coins (future prospects) is considered advertising.
Either way there are projects that are more energy efficient than Ethereum, and can process 10 000 transactions per second at this point at a much lower cost.

It does dump because the artificial hype created by the merge event is gone now.  Now ETH market is again susceptible to the bear market trend.  Aside from that those who buy ETH because of the merge is selling their holdings because they are not here to buy and hold ETH but rather take advantage of the free money from the fork and profit from the hype.



I hope ETH won't go in downward direction.


There are lots of flaws in this coin.  1st is the scalability that is why they have planned to implement an update and network upgrade to address this problem.  Second is the high fee, among the cyrptocurrency today, ETH is probably the most expensive coins to move around with its high gas fee. and many more.

I hope it will still get more buyers/investors after a huge fall in its price after the merger happens. I was thinking now the demand will also decrease following the current market sentiment and might these investors will looking for more potential projects. But of course, I know ETH won't let things be done and surely Vitalik will take action in these dropping scenarios that cause some worries and uncertainties to the community thinking about the future of ETH.

ETH is still going strong and will likely remain where a lot of people will return for the purpose of owning, its price will likely remain until bitcoin recovers its price. ETH on the other hand doesn't need such price movement as it can carry its own bucket to the top with the help of constant development and hard work of the team, although now there is a downturn but I'm sure ETH will make a comeback

ETH is indeed the most potential to have a lot of increases when the bull market comes. but for now bitcoin continues to fall. so ETH will surely follow its fall. so I think now is the right time to start accumulating ETH.

Proof of stake certainly seems to be a strong enough consensus. It seems that ethereum merge will make it faster and reduce the gas fees. But will this make ethereum stronger, this is still a million dollar question.So far there is no strong proof of stake assets. Salona had its own share of glitches and breaches. One thing is for sure POS unduly empowers the whales..How whales behave will decide ethereum's future.

The move to proof-of-stake will make ETH as centralized as other altcoins, which is a big worry for many. ETH used to be the top choice because a decentralized altcoins and more secure than other altcoins when still using POW, but with this transition, the future of ETH really remains a big question. Hope Vitalik Buterin is aware of the problem and will have a solution so that ETH does not have to become a centralized coin controlled by big whales.
Also, the SEC is looking into whether ETH is a security?, which is more of a bad thing for ETH after merge than a benefit.

we will never know what will happen about the future of ethereum but what we do know now is that ethereum is only increasing network integration and can reduce transaction fees which are much cheaper than last year.
and for the issue of dump or pump prices one day it will happen when bearish comes, that's something that is natural for me.
there are a lot of rumors out there saying after the merging of the ethereum network it will be a high pump and there are also those who say it will replace bitcoin, i say that will not happen. because bitcoin and ethereum have different networks and bitcoin will still be the best to invest in crypto.
but there is something possibility in the future that will come the possibility that ethereum will continue to be the top number 2 coin after bitcoin and the price will be very high after bitcoin set a new ATH record

The only issue in ethereum network is the transaction fee, and if it will be solve then Ethereum will surely get more demand or gain more popularity than any other coin, i believe in ethereum and it will be always next to bitcoin, there are many network that low fee than ethereum but still they cannot surpass the Ethereum because many investors still trust ethereum than any other networks.

Although ethereuem has successfully transitioned to PoS, unfortunately they have not been able to overcome the high transaction costs and the merger did not have a positive impact on ETH price movements because it did not work as expected by its users where many hoped that the merger would reduce transaction costs to a lower level but not so, so that currently we see the price of ETH continues to decline and there is no sign of a significant increase in this short time.

Not just the transaction fees but I think there are other issues with it. Eth is more of centralized crypto. Processing time for transactions isn't also fast as other cryptos. Its supply is unknown. These are the three issues that I know so far in eth but there might be more than this.

This is the reason why many users didn't pick eth even before when its fees are still cheap but by the time the fees skyrocketed, many users have also temporarily left eth and switched to a better alternative like bsc and matic. Once the fees return to normal I believe those who leave can also come back but will the merge really fix that issue? I don't think so and many experts are also saying the same thing.

Ethereum is a very popular coin. We know it will get better in the future.Although many times a lot of bad news comes, it is not a matter of fact.There has been market dumping which has led to dumping of all coins.There is no reason to despair but Ethereum will have a lot of good news and it will make a very good position as you can see.
