this new fork of ethereum changes the whole system. it will no longer be Proof of Work (PoW) but instead it will be Proof of Stake (PoS). and this means you can no longer mine ethereum and all those who have already invested in some mining equipment are screwed because they either have to sell or mine something else.

and what happens is that those who have more ETH will earn more now because they will be rewarded more. like the Ethereum foundation who is holding the premined 72 million ETH tokens.

Well, there might be some controversy about the transition to PoS, but in my opinion it is for the good in long term. PoW is unsustainable. There are already gigawatts of electricity wasted to mine Bitcoin and other cryptos, which is, frankly speaking, stupid, if it can be done in another way (such as PoS).

That is totaly wrong. Eth will be mineble for at least a year
