The second biggest coin in terms of trade volume is about to implement a big change called "The Merge", which has miners shaking in their boots.
One miner said it's a lot of uncertainty. Nobody really knows what will happen. Many people are in denial.
The project is expected to move from a proof-of-work to a proof-of-stake model in a few days.
It will no longer be necessary to have a lot of power in order to mining ether. Instead, miners will use a new consensus protocol to verify transactions.
The result is that the planet is going to be a lot better. Considering the amount of electricity used by the entire of Bangladesh, it's a big deal that "The Merge" will result in a decrease in energy use.
The time is running out. There are only a few days to figure out how to adapt to a new reality.
Andy Long, CEO of White Rock, told CoinTelegraph this week that the difficulty of the miners will increase as they point their hardware at different chains.
HIVEBlockchain, a massive mining company, is using other currencies.
It's not possible to tell how the merger will affect the markets. Is the price of ether going to go up or down? There is a question as to whether miners will flock to the new proof-of-work chain.
The benefits for the environment are more important than the rocky ride that miners are likely to have.
There are plans to lose proof-of-work.
Nothing makes sense anymore.
