Started reading about this.. Is this a bad thing for eth?
It is a good news for everyone because implementing Casper will make the value rise and more stable because there will be more people who buy Ethereum to stake them in order to get a profit.
The release of Casper just means that Ethereum prices are on the rise. Ethereum can not be won, the only way you will get a new Ethereum is if you hold it in a special wallet, sometimes only people with expensive wallets
will get extra as a miner.
