I fear for ETH future, almost all smart contract projects are using the PoS staking algorithm but only ETH PoW stands alone, this makes ETH different and one of a kind smart contract project, I think vitalik buterin will regret is decision after ETH goes PoS.

Your fear doesn't matter much given the fact that it is the top altcoin in the market. Relax and feel for yourself how many things have appeared and competed with it, I find it a matter of liking and changing in accordance with the present and future plans that see ETH always strong. And now the interest in ETH 2.0 is growing, so put your worries away and look at the growth coming its way.

POW is a problem nowadays, many countries are starting to question the environmental impact caused by crypto mining activities. the biggest one is china, they last year started banning all kinds of crypto mining activities in that country. and many say POS is the solution to the problems of the crypto ecosystem. there are no issues related to environmental impact and that might be the way for wider adoption.

moreover POS on ethereum network is also a solution for better scalability. and I think being different is not the only way to be superior. so you don't need to be afraid if later ethereum looks the same as other smart contract networks that use POS first. instead it is another reason for people to use ethereum again.

Well just because we have fear does not mean the projects should not be upgraded to newer technology? This is much much needed becasue we all are stuck with huge fees and long wait of confirmations in PoW. I dont think Vitalik will ever regret his decision. They completely understand the current issues with the ETH and he can not just sit and do nothing about it?

 
Correct. Though I dont agree that mining alone is causing issues with the environmental destruction ( ::)) but what we can do about those protestor and government bans? To overcome such challenges I am sure these kinda upgrades surely needed.

Beyond this, all the new coming projects have all their rights to create projects based on the PoS. In fact we are waiting for such projects which are more or less independent and staked one.

Seems you came here straight after coma? ???

Because ETH is already switching to PoS which is called ETH2.0 so people who can have enough ethereum can become the nodes and its expected the TPS by 100 times but all these things will take time atleast a couple of years.

Well, I think you miss the info as ETH is moving now to PoS from PoW mechanism.

https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/consensus-mechanisms/pos/

So I guess, your worries and fear will stop and get back to trusting ETH again. But even that, the ETH network is huge and concerning about being still on the PoW mechanism, this never changes the fact that ETH has a better future compared to the other altcoins. Well, at least this changes make ETH more efficient and cost-saving.

if i have never doubted ethereum in the past, because ethereum has a smart contract which is certainly different from many other altcoins, wanting to use PoS or PoW mechanism for me never had a problem with it, so i never had any doubts about the future development of ethereum.

how about if the opposite happened, when POS was released, it turned out to strengthen the position of ethereum. and your worries never come true. isn't this also one of the possibilities that can happen when ethereum releases POS. imagine when eth 2.0 runs fully, that means TPS has been upgraded and scalability issues have been resolved. network fees can be very cheap, cheaper than today. these are some of the advantages of upgrading the ethereum network that we will feel. so there's no harm in accepting this upgrade.

Its does not matter. Etherium still has high use case even new smart contract use POS. We can expect something big in future because etherium is top class project and Vitalik will not leave Etherium down. Stay tune and see what happen.

I think your fear has no substance at all because the Eth 2.0 network upgrade has incorporated all of the necessary functions and features on the Eth network like scalability and of course, the PoS algorithm, but the program has also encountered some setbacks for many unknown reasons and also the networks has encountered some problems because of expensive transaction fees.

Why would he regret his decision? PoS is more energy efficient compared to PoW and most importantly, gamers hate PoW because of the demand they create on GPU's. I think Vitalik has a point. The only time where using PoW makes more sense than using PoS is at the beginning of the project. After using PoW a couple of years, moving to PoS sounds like a good idea because the electricity PoW spends grows exponentially and that's clearly unsustainable in the long run.

There has been a plan regarding the transition of Ethereum from POW to POS and I think if that will be implemented, many of the current problems of Ethereum right now will be solved like Tx speed and fee (not sure though).

No need to fear if you are an investor since it has retained its spot for a very long time already. No one has surpassed Ethereum in terms of market cap aside from Bitcoin of course. With regards to its competitors though, most of the other smart contract coins are faster and have cheaper fees compare to Ethereum.

Several Coins come and goes but Ethereum is still there as a king of all Altcoins. People using now Ethereum as an asset like Bitcoin in my opinion. I don't think Vitalik will regret it on the other hand I feel Ethereum can surpass bitcoin in the future. With all your fears Ethereum is growing steadily and will continue to grow.

Instead of worrying like you, I'm more excited than ever to use ETH2.0. ETH is really cool, I have never seen any ETH killer outperform it.

The only problem with Ethereum is that gas fees are expensive so transferring POW to POS is a must for ETH. Besides the move to POS Ethereum will easily expand its network further, which is a congratulatory gesture for ETH. I hope this year ETH will complete the upgrade.

It will not a matter of fear Eth top in market and will remain top like this. Also you can expect that eth price will remain bitcoin in just few days just hold on and look at how eth grow every day even all of the projct which launches on eth chain is also best of all other project in different chain also there needs some change for holding trend thats normal for little growth!!

that means if that was making ethereum to be the truly decentralized smartcontract platform. Ethereum never encounter a problem that faced by those POS smartcontract platform just like shortage that happened with solana. I think that you forget this and you're only focusing with the POW. This consensus is still reliable at this moment.
Vitalik was refusing to answer whether ethereum will be going to the POS system or not. He was only saying that if ETH already revised its old vision with the POS blockchain. Im sure ethereum will be going with hybrid consensus

Yeah right, and despite that they are still buying.  :D He may, or may not be making a mistake. It's unknown until it's released at full blast.
You are not alone in this kind of dilemma for many old investors are also having that kind of thought.
There are successful POS projects out there but there had always been the negativity bordering it. All we can do is wait. Will you really sell at this phase where you already waited for a long time? I won't. I'd gladly wait and see the outcome of the change.

Why worry? it's not an issue that we should think about very seriously. Whether Pow or Pos for sure we don't contribute with Ethereum developers. After all, the futures process will leave us with many choices if we don't believe in the future of Ethereum. Just so you know, Ethereum has been around for a long time, even being the 2nd position in terms of largest investment.

Why should he? He's been the one that has that thought and will also be the one to lead the transition.

We as investors will speak for it if the community doesn't like it. But I don't think that there will be a negative impact on it because everyone would be happy to see how it goes once it becomes POS.

You should have given any idea why do you think that Vitalik is going to regret his decision when it finally happens.

The PoS algorithm was planned a long time ago and if you learned how validators would work, then you would calm down a bit. Over time, light clients will appear that will allow even an inexperienced user to create their own nodes.

They wont be staying on 2nd ranking coin in the entire market for nothing even though they are in PoW but doesnt mean that its shit.The only thing i do see for it to be shit is on the fee issues.
We've been suffering from high Gas for a long time already which im not surprised that most projects are using other blockchains and not staying with erc20 which i could not blame them off.
Speaking of future then no one really knows but if they do really stay up something like this and doesnt make any changes then it wont be surprising that it would be overtaken with some good projects below.

ETH is becoming a deflationary coin, which makes it attractive for investment and future development. The move to PoS should make ETH mining fairer. That is, you will no longer need expensive equipment to start mining, the system should become more reliable due to validators, and decentralization should increase due to sharding.

In addition, the world constantly discusses the problems of power consumption due to Pow mining. Switching to PoS will solve this problem as well.

Although I also understand that it will not be without disadvantages. For example, the low profitability of this mining. But nevertheless ETH will evolve and the migration to the new algorithm will solve the problems of the network and attract new users and investors. It will also have a positive effect on the price of ETH.

The competition is gettin tough, if ETH didn’t adopt or no more updates then that is the time for you to worry about its future. So far ETH is still doing good on trying their best to stay on the competition. The most anticipated update of ETH 2.0 can be a big thing, and maybe this is the reason why ETH is still the top altcoins, they see good things are coming.

This updates disappoint many, we heard so many delays and the gas fee issue didn’t solve at all. Well, it may not be fully implemented but its not a good hype anymore. ETH has to do something big here, there’s a lot of good alternatives already and its not a surprise anymore of some coins will replace ETH in top 2, remember XRP is able to replace ETH, there’s a big threat now if ETH didn’t act right.

Ethereum will certainly do the update and it depends on the team,
I don't think we need to worry about Ethereum other than that this coin has so far been able to survive to do that of course it's not an easy thing,
Ethereum will continue to grow and develop I'm sure of that and maybe it's just a matter of time

Why would you be afraid if the token or altcoins you own is top in the market?. Just think of a way where you can take advantage of the token or altcoin to gain profit like hold for example or daily trading. Since it is in the top market for a long time then you don't have to worry or be afraid because of it. Though the price is not stable but you can take advantage of the sudden increase or decrease of the price to own more crypto.

There is no need to worry about the future of ETH because ETH itself is considered the most successful product in the crypto space with smart contracts that have been used by many other projects in the past. So the concept will only have a very small effect for ETH because ETH has been very popular from the past until now.

Ethereum is a smart contract with great potential for now and in the future, this smart contract runs quite independently, many cases that people talk about ethereum has very expensive transaction fees, but these issues do not make ethereum fall just like that, even the power of ethereum now, they are used by big project, so the transactions and balance of ethereum is huge when compared to others, this refers from the time they appeared until their current journey

Ethereum is first decentralised open source smart contract provider for ERC20 based token and ethereum is still popular .around 90% potential and private investors use Ethereum for holding and investors and they believe in ethereum a lot . but due to ethereum higher gas fees all small investors and crypto users avoid ethereum and ethereum networks. that’s why we think maybe ethereum in die. but ethereum still good and the future of ethereum is must bright. in the future eth will lead bitcoin and it will work as alternative bitcoin.

The way everyone has always been in the center of interest has pushed the extra gas fee a bit over time.  Ethereum has been around for a long time, even in the 2nd largest investment.  Moving to POS Ethereum is a must.  Gas fees are expensive so POS transfer to POW is required for ETH.  In addition to moving to POS Ethereum, its network will easily expand further

No need to worry, although currently ETH uses a different algorithm on the network in general, ethereum holds the highest throne in the order of cryptocurrency coins as the best network coin.
As long as Ethereum always wants to develop their projects, I'm sure there are very many similar projects that are not equivalent, because it has often happened even from 3 years ago that people say that if they are ethereum killers, in fact they are just bullshit.

The future of eth is nothing to worry about. Eth has always been one of the best altcoins. It is always stable, even more often giving advantages than losses.

Hmmm, you got a point here but if you take a look since the beginning even there are already a lot of projects that claim that they are the "Ethereum killer" are vanishing.
And this new trend, which is POS layer 1 networks which for me I can consider as an alternative for Ethereum, as you can see there are already a lot of platforms that support multi-chain/network, so for sure in the future, competitors of Ethereum will stay also as Ethereum will stay too.

PoW does not really help with the bandwidth congestion these days and the developers absolutely have to push forward to PoS which will help to scale the chain and reduce the fees.
If you remember some years ago Vitalik said the 1$ transaction fee is ridiculous but now we've seen 200$ fees.

The world doesn't care at all on the environmental impact, if it does then the moment they knew PoW would make the environment worst they would've shut it down already. Why didn't they? Because they are gaining from it, if the miners stop using those massive energy who would?  The oils imports that they can earn with those running facilities giving everyone the energy source. This is money we are talking, human is greedy and would do anything to be more wealthier even it causes earth's destruction. Eth is good as it is and so does BTC, if it is easy to acquire then it wouldn't be so precious right now, look at gold and diamonds etc, they are all mined and requires the use energies too.

What you fear is also partly true because today there are many potential and outstanding altcoins, along with congestion and expensive gas fees on ETH, some projects are looking for alternatives on other networks. But you do not need to worry too much because ETH is still making efforts and gradually entering the transition phase of ETH. The ETH2.0 event is considered the most anticipated event of the crypto community, I find it to attract more people's attention than the bitcoin halving event. Shows that the community's interest in ETH has never cooled down and all efforts will be well rewarded with ETH2.0

I'd support the decision to go POS. POW is going to be a controversial topic for crypto in the future and for a sustainable utility coin, it would be better to be environment friendly. POS are not any less secure than POW and with the whole team involved, it would maintain it's trust. The only thing bothering it is it's slow blockchain, I don't see it improving a lot even if they introduced shradding as the chain is already one of the heaviest.

Etherium Future will be more bright than ever. Once again project will adopt Etherium way and Etherium will also do some Update.
You cam see the transaction of Etherium . there is no big difference in number of transaction and perhaps it will go big in future due to vast use case

I think you don't worry too much, talking about ethereum, according to what I see ethereum is the top altcoin in the market trend, and I also heard that the presence of this POS is something that the ethereum holder community has been waiting for.

If you look at the fundamental flaw of POS where a few will have majority control over the network, it is not going to be sustainable in the long term. We are behind BTCitcoin because of its decentralization and not because a few can have majority control over others. It might take some time for the general public to understand its flaw but the idea of POW is a controversial topic is just ignoring the fundamentals.

I don't really think that the ETH-team has really much of a choice here. Yes they could decide to keep on using the PoW consensus mechanism in order to keep the big mining companies happy but i think the negative reputation that they would get from the majority of the people and the press would just be too much. In the end the last few years have all been about energy efficiency and to develop environmentally friendly alternatives for transportation, heating, electricity and so on. So it is really hard to tell to people that all those crypto miners use up more electricity than a whole country needs to function. I just read about a research that said that BTC miners use up more electricity than the country of Ukraine, that research is from 2019 so obviously before the Ukraine war.

At the end of the day ETH has always been a centralized project which is why vitalik can take those kind of decisions unilaterally, I think it is a mistake for ETH to go from PoW to PoS, and we can see this is the case as ETH has been trying to make that transition for a long time and it has yet to achieve the results the developers want, however even if they can move successfully to PoS the network is not going tob e as secure as before and ETH will be just like most other smart contract coins, losing any edge it may had in the market and putting at risk its position as the second most important coin in the market.

search on internet for ETHmerge is surging and that could show possible outcome for Ethereum future
transition to PoS should be a good think energy wise, and incentives on the network will go up, with inflation going down, which is a solid move

testnet merge already passed without major issues, and we are set to go on mainnet, interesting time ahead

I don't think there will be any trouble or regret. Because ethereum is a cryptocurrency that is greatly admired and used by the masses. Considering their Fee situation, I think they made the smartest decision. Vitalik is such a smart person that I think he will definitely add extra things in the development of his project, which will further increase its development and usability. That's why eth is always at the top of the cryptocurrencies I trust.

You made a nice point, because we all know that Ethereum is like the highest of altcoins, and no altcoins can be better than Ethereum, the growth of it, is not what someone can doubt for or worry about, the future of Ethereum is a continuous process and it far better and it can't be use to compare to any alternative coin's.

I think moving ETH from POW to POS is a reasonable decision, POS will consume less energy than POW. Many experts argue that the move to POS does not weaken the ETH network, but also increases the stability and scalability of the network when combined with sharding so no need to worry too much.
ETH is still the top altcoins and with the upgrade to ETH2.0, the future is brighter than ever.

I think this is very true, I also have the same opinion as you, the future of ethereum will definitely be very good and stable, because ethereum is the best altcoin for now, even the ethereum holder community has never felt a loss. ethereum is very promising profits from losses.

Yes, because everyone is aware that ethereum future will be greater than it's now. Ethereum still remain the superior among altcoins which many investors prefer to invest on ethereum than any other altcoins in the community, because of the good income they are receiving from ethereum investment. Those that choose ethereum in this season made a good choice without listening to people or discourage about the gas fee of ethereum than to view the great future ahead of ethereum. It hard for ethereum investors to experience losses from their investment because ethereum price is still more stable than any other altcoins in the crypto market.

Lately, many Ethereum users have complained that transaction fees are too high when they want to transact with ETH coins, so Vitalik is trying to solve this problem by planning to switch Ethereum to a PoS consensus algorithm which Vitalik thinks can be the right solution to reduce transaction costs, and if after the launch of ETH 2.0 it is as expected by users then of course it will make ETH more attractive to the public, so you don't have to worry about that because ETH is a coin that has a good future.

We all know that Vitalik might regret making his own blockchain or any other decision he makes. In my opinion, Vitalik Buterin is smart and has done more good than bad for crypto. I think Vitalik made the right choice because the future goal has been set. People don't know for sure how crypto will turn out, but one thing is for sure: it will be fun to watch the experiments happen.

It would be extraordinary if in the near future ETH was able to solve this high transaction fee problem through the methods you have mentioned because it has been a long time since everyone has been forced to make transactions on the ETH network if there are no other network options for certain tokens or coins.
So I would absolutely be very happy if Vitalik would sort this out in the near future.

I think ETH network transaction high gas fee that is the main problem to ETH.Many people complainied for high gas fee.I think, everything is fine to ETH volume, price.I think they will be update ETH 2.0 an solved this problem. I hope they will be more development in future.

We have no other option but to wait and see if they are right, POW seems like the best way to protect the network from malicious attacks, is it energetically expensive? Without a doubt it is, but it is worth it, however it seems that the move towards POS is inevitable for ethereum, however it is a process that it has taken many years and if there happens to be a mistake at some point in the process a huge deal of the confidence and trust that people have in the ethereum network will be lost almost overnight.

Well good luck for anyone staying in POW and finding developers for the old expensive chain while all the brainiacs are moving to POS because that's where the future is. The whole POW ideology is just pointless after POS. And POW will mostly be pushed by unemployed miners with rigs they can't use anymore.

Not everyone complains about the high transaction fees of ethereum, because the use of this network is usually used by people who are more capable, even those who often complain about the ethereum network, those who participate in bounty campaigns, because there is no match between transactions and opinions received, so for those who they don't match ethereum network use

All you need to do is to stop relying on FUDs.
Will Mr. Vitalik let it happen? It surely not, he'd protect it and that is why despite much negativity we've heard in previous days, ETH still exists till now. That is how obvious that ETH would certainly survive and we never have to think about dying because this only happens to shitcoins. And if you know the function of these smart contracts in the market, I believe you just then change your view.

there is certainly a good reason why the team behind eth just decide that it gonna be changing in system from POW and become POS because it’s for saving the energy consumption and going more greener I guess.
there is no harm if it’s for betterment of the world because honestly wasting energy unnecessarily isn’t a good thing either but it depends in the thing that a platform wanna achieve, if it’s security surely it’s better using POW mechanism but
it seems ETH doesn’t really aims for that instead it’s just aims for efficiency and therefore POS could be a great choice for ETH in the future.
the newer smart contract platform choose POS with a valid reason of increasing overall efficiency I think.

High gas fee,it's very difficult to small investor because any single transaction gas fee need $25-30$ It's very high gas fee for small capable investor.If they don't update their gas fee network then i think many people will not use ETH network. But I hope ETH gas fee will be low in future and they will be update more in future.

Why should you be fear for ETH's future? I think the ETH team thought about it before, and if the ETH project is going to be any different than before, maybe it's one of the ways for ETH to continue to change and grow big and survive any upcoming trends in crypto. We don't know if Vitalik Buterin regrets his decision or if he sticks with it. If you are afraid, you don't need to follow ETH and instead look for other coins that you think don't scare you.

ETH is a popular crypto from the beginning. It has a great future. In my opinion ETH will land on 10000$ within next 3 to 4 years. We have to HODL it for next couple of years to get a handsome ROI.

OP your fear is meaningless, could be meaningful if ETH is a new coin in this space but as a old coin many will still prefer this coin over other new ones, either they go PoW or PoS it's going to have no negative effects on this coin, ETH is almost as good as BTC today.

Before Mr. Butterin and the team make the decision, they probably anticipate the coming problems that may occur. But I think, whatever it is they know what to do and responded positively. We don't have to fear anything from changing it to a PoS system, I've been believing this may help and add convenience to the user and investors.

I definitely going to agree with what he made, he is even realizing the benefits it gives when switching to PoS.

ETH is still the most popular cryptocurrency after bitcoin. 

In my opinion, switching from a PoW consensus algorithm to a PoS consensus algorithm does not change the situation. 

Ethereum has many competitors, but so far none of them have come close to Ethereum in terms of popularity.  Ethereum is a recognized leader in the crypto industry.  Ethereum has a huge number of developers.  A large number of developers is a key success factor. 

Investors can sell one coin and buy another.  It is more difficult for developers to make such a transition.  To do this, they need to retrain.  They may even have to learn a new programming language in order to develop in a different cryptocurrency ecosystem. 

Therefore, in my opinion, everything will be fine with Ethereum!

ETH is an old project and is still the king of altcoins, therefore ETH is always ranked second below Bitcoin. This has proven that the future of ETH
will be bright, if the OP has doubts about the future of ETH, meaning that he has not received complete information about ETH. Because if we learn
all things about ETH correctly and from reliable sources there should be no doubt about the future of ETH. In fact, many projects have been created
to shift the position of ETH from number two on coinmarketcap, but neither one worked. I agree with you, there are many other coins that the OP
can choose, but in my opinion it will be a loss if we miss ETH as an investment asset. Because based on my experience ETH can always provide
big profits, if we can be patient holding ETH in the long term. ETH includes coins that always follow Bitcoin price movements, so if Bitcoin pumps,
then the price of ETH will pump too. So it should come as no surprise when Bitcoin hits the ATH price in 2021, ETH also in 2021 managed to reach
the ATH price. That's why ETH is my favorite coin after Bitcoin for investment choices for the long term.

Ethereum is a perfect choice for investors as it allows easier access from traders and very high potential for long term growth, this is because the scalability of the platform provides room for continuous improvement by developers.
Ethereum is the best coin after bitcoin and nothing can overthrow Etheruem the second best coin among other cryptocurrencies, I never hesitate to own it because it always provides great profits for the long term and the future of Ethereum will continue to be good and improving.

Of course, it is a bit about becoming more green, there is no denying that at all. But I would like to say that it is not just about being a bit more green, it is also about the fact that new projects are picking other networks since ETH gas fee is high right now. The reason why ETH became this big was the fact that there are so many projects that end up getting hyped and that increased the price of ethereum.

Even during the bear period, we have seen ETH not go down as much as some of the other coins because it was a period when Axie made people a lot of money and everyone bought ETH to use axie. So, if they lowered the gas fee, they could get even more projects there.

Yes, after the EIP 1559 update, ETH became more attractive for investors and traders, so now there is an outflow of coins from exchanges. And the deposit contract of ETH 2.0 has already exceeded 10,000,000 coins. I doubt that we can see a full-fledged replacement for ETH in the near future, as it is a huge ecosystem that is already highly popular. Yes, it has certain problems, and on this background there are so-called ETH killers that solve ETH gaps in their projects, but even offering, in some aspects, a better product, it still will not outweigh the influence of ETH as a deflationary asset that is gaining momentum.

I'm not sure what you are arguing here. Are you saying that POS isn't secure? POS can be just as secure as POW blockchains, even more so since there are no 51% attacks based on hashpower rented from places like nicehash. The added benefit of POS for retail investors is that they don't have to buy expensive computer hardware from china and mine with expensive electricity. Anybody can stake $Celo, $ICP, or $NEAR.

The future of ETH is still very good because now it has switched to POS of course with this transition ETH does not stand alone and remains the best altcoin but in POS it is still in its infancy, and fewer battle tests, compared to POW which has been used before but is developing and Security updates will continue to be made for ETH which is better than others.

The current price of Ethereum I think is inseparable from the rising price of Bitcoin which has an indirect impact on the altcoin market,
if conditions continue to improve it is not impossible that the price of Ethereum will also continue to rise,
the important thing is to follow the developments and we'll see if there will be a bull market or not

Yes, you are right. ETH can provide huge profits like what bitcoin has given us. I'm also still holding ETH to this day after the previous high gains, and with BTC, I'm sure it will provide another big gain in the bull run and the next altcoin season. But we are only giving advice to @OP, and we are not forcing him to follow what we are suggesting, but it is better if @OP can find more information about ETH so that he has no qualms about investing in ETH other than BTC. So far, the movement of ETH itself has been good and could rise to the level of $3k, and I feel that there is a possibility this year ETH will increase again.

Etherium chain is very reliable in all the current chains. Etherium 2.0 version is also going to be launched soon. Then there will be a big reduction in gas fees. At present you can see that 60 to 80 percent of the projects of Ethereum chain are working. The most. If there is one after Bitcoin it is Ethereum. That is, it is not appropriate to tell anyone about its future. Since you are working in this industry, you must know the importance of etherium. And its future will be wonderful and bright in the days to come.

Doing your own research is definitely something that is promoted to everyone, not just OP but everyone. However, ETH is one of the biggest coins out there in the world, it is one of the most used blockchains if not the most used one as well. OP could read up on it for days, weeks and even months and can still learn new things after a while because it is such a huge one.

Popular things get a lot more results and research material, since it's liked by many, that means if you write something about it, there are more people out there who would be interested in it as well. This is why I believe that ETH is a good choice, and there are many sources that suggests the same.

I will disappoint you, but there will be no gas price reduction because sharding will be activated after the Merger. The merger will change the algorithm in the blockchain but will not significantly increase the speed of transactions in the blockchain. The next few years will be spent scaling up the blockchain and increasing the number of shards to maximize TPS.

You don't have to worry too much, ETH is POW or POS, it will never lose position (altcoin king) and no altcoin can replace it.
Upgrading to POS will make ETH more eco-friendly because of the allegations surrounding POW about energy usage for mining.
Below is the revenue statistics table of recent blockchains, everyone can refer. The attraction of ETH has never cooled down and people's trust in it has never been lost.

It seems to me that the environmental friendliness of POS is too exaggerated by globalists, because there is not much damage to the environment from mining all POW coins, compared to one or more volcanic eruptions. About the king of altcoins I totally agree! There are so many projects tied to its ecosystem and there is no replacement for it yet. If only DOT in the very distant future.

I don't see any significant effect on the price of ETH despite the change in PoW-PoS nor saying the future of ETH has been affected. Coz what I see this is that it only saves the effect to the environment, not the price itself and as well as with the gas fee. But I was seeing from this scenario is that it even adds more interest to the people.
Ethereum will remain the top coin among altcoins, and will still see its persistent performance and so the demand.

Exactly, people are making a huge amount of money from ethereum like the way they make money from bitcoin investment. Ethereum still remain the king among altcoins in terms of long term benefits, many investors has achieved a lot of reward from ethereum than any other altcoins in the community. I believe ethereum team are fully ready to make ethereum stable and steady through out this year to help many people to be part of this season of profits making.

Based on what many traders has achieved from ethereum few weeks ago, I think it will motivate them to invest more Money on ethereum than any other coins in this season.

Yes, that's correct. Even though the price of ETH has dropped by a few hundred dollars right now, I still believe that it will rise again, especially after bitcoin has rebounded again. Currently, the market is undergoing another correction, which makes ETH and other coins experience a decline.

If @OP is still researching ETH and already getting a lot of information about ETH, maybe this is a good time to buy ETH when the price is experiencing a correction. ETH is still a popular coin for now besides BTC and BNB and still occupies the second position in CMC and Coingecko, so this is what makes many people still believe in ETH's ability to increase its price in the future.

Ethereum is an improvement over all of them, many smart contracts are using them, even if examined closely, projects that have a greater success value are using their smart contract network, and the prospect of Ethereum using PoS will have a huge impact going forward, as they are figuring out how to use Ethereum must master any exchange, be it transactions, swapping or buying/selling in their smart contracts

many observers say that in the future ethereum is increasing sought after and used for the long term, what ETH can enjoy through DApps itself is such as direct loans that generate interest, direct payments, streaming songs where royalties are received directly by the artist concerned, not to streaming platforms or record labels. , art auctions without auctioneers, markets for non-fungible tokens (NFT), online games and so on.
so the development of ethereum in the future is very promising and will always be sought.

FX Street predicts Ethereum will hit $6,000 by the end of the year. However, FX street also notes that if the price drops below $3.137, the bullish trend may not continue. Remember, prices can go down and up and Ethereum is prone to volatility. therefore investing is also seen from the capabilities we have.

Talking about the future of Ethereum is of course very interesting, especially now that the price of Ethereum is above $3000,
even though 2 years ago Ethereum was only at a price of $100 to $300, we don't have to predict the technology,
because it has been proven that the blockchain technology they use is very good, but in terms of price, maybe we should just be realistic,
considering Ethereum will switch to PoS maybe maybe the price will move at least $4000 even $5000.

Projects that have a real market value sustain no matter what will be changed in their system. Like, Ethereum has gained huge support before this change and sees no huge impact on its trend because investors and traders had seen no big difference from it. That is why we don't need to worry about this, instead of looking for more benefits we get and giving convenience to the users. This kind of system innovation, well, I guess this even help for a sustainable market demand somewhat in the future.

Still remember with ethereum price last two years where I sold it under $500 and now most disappointed by getting ethereum price almost $3,000. I think have potential with ethereum as worth investment coins for the future and price could reach above $5,000 depending when bitcoin have back to stable or higher price. I see every day ethereum could reach higher price more than 300$ until $500 and as potential coins for the future keep consistent on higher price. I see few months later have potential for ethereum back to higher price and make new all time high price maybe reach above $5,000.

Were do you get that info that it will be launched soon? I think that was just an April fools jokes. Every year they always say that eth 2.0 will come but we are now at 2022 and still no eth 2.0. You better not hope for that because it will only disappoint you.

@zasad already disappoints you, I think he is saying that even if eth 2.0 will come, there will still be no changes in the fees but there will only be a transition that will happen from pow to pos. Fees on eth are now decreasing the past few days btw, have you noticed it? My friend says that they pay only 2 to 3 dollars compare to last time 40 dollars and above, that is still a great achievement. No need for eth 2.0 bs.

Here I wonder why they are afraid of Acer's future. I think they thought before that Ethereum is so good that I cook now.  I think my future will be much better and here I think it has gotten better and it will leave me in a much better position.

Why you are worrying for the trusted coin like Ethereum.The people who had invested their money in crypto like new altcoin,they have fear.Because some project will be closed after the pre sale was over.Since Ethereum was the base of the NFT,Ethereum will not be collapsed at any point.If you had some money and want to inverse in good coin,you can choose of Ethereum.

The know fact of forum member is,the Ethereum was essential one for the Ethereum 2.0.Which is Ethereum second version.Ethereum had a strong capacity for build to the new version of 2.0.Even the bitcoin came with different name like bitcoin cash,bitcoin gold.But only this Ethereum had a capacity to rebuild as ETH 2.0.So their is demand of Ethereum in future.The price of ETH will reach 5000$.

Don’t know why people was fearful with the trusted coins.Their are lot of waste altcoin in the market.Actually it price will not increase or decrease and will be at stable price.Some worst coin will exit the market in a short period of time.So all the things are different cases.Mainly the price of Ethereum was depends on the price of bitcoin all the time.aether is good coin from my knowledge.

The reason why it moved that high was the fact that not only the market grew exponentially since then (bitcoin was under 10k back in those days as well) but also ETH is used by many many projects at the same time because of its technology as well. Blockchain of ETH is one of the biggest reasons why people still buy it, this makes sure that people do not buy ethereum just to invest, which they still do, but also buy it so that they could use it to pay for stuff.

All through the summer for example, people used ETH to pay for their Axie world as well, everyone played games, earned money and spent ETH which required them to buy ETH first to spend it later. So there are multiple reasons for it.
