We can not predict anything with 100% surety, what is going to happen after Ethereum merger, most likely hard fork will happen and Ethereum will split into 2 tokens ETHS & ETHW, majority is supporting ETHS but many exchanges like MEXC have also listed ETHW and its trading is going on there. The tokens created on Ethereum will work on both block chains and token holders will get 2 tokens, one on each block chain. This is what likely to happen but I am not 100% sure. I think you can mine ETHW if it performs well after the merger. DYOR
This is interesting, thanks for participating (I don't have any merits to give you).
I did not know that a POW ETH crypto will stay. Maybe those ETH holders who want POW will stick with ETHW after all.
The best one is kadena, this is a Proof of Work project and it has a very active team, the only problem is mining profitability, the reward is lower compare to Ethereum and Ethereum Classic mining.
I just saw today, by pure chance, that somehow this project is associated with the names SEC and JP Morgan for some reason. I won't bother looking further, not for trading reasons, maybe it will perform better, but just because I am also looking for a crypto long term that is in line with my values.
Sounds interesting if ERGO coin is a POW/POS cryptocurrency based on Ethereum with some unique features. but what is important here is about the use of ERGO tokens and others later although It has the power to support smart contracts, which is not possible in ordinary cryptocurrencies.
No, ERGO is not a token, it has its own blockchain. They've got their own DEX, that seems to be working well, and a lot of other ongoing projects that I did not look at yet (except for the mixer that they proudly say it's "non custodial"). Their founder looks really passionate about his job from what I've seen. Upon checking the key figures in this project, they tweet a lot about the importance of trustless systems, privacy, and the original principals of the foundation of Bitcoin. I like it. I don't get to see that much often in other spaces, other than price speculation, hype, some nice ideas, but not about what really crypto was supposed to be in the first place.
A problem I see though is that the founder is not a good speaker unfortunately, which might exclude some type of investors and even some potential users.
