ETH is having a bad time in the market just as all the other crypto. It still has over 15% market dominance and is second only to bitcoin. I do not see Ethereum being negatively impacted with the price falling because it is a market wide issue. It is currently trading at $1156 and would not be a surprise if it fell below $950 within days because of the uncertainty surrounding crypto investors.

If whales try to manipulate the market it will not work especially with the prices low compared to the very recent highs. What will they gain from it?

Ethereum’s ‘Difficulty Bomb’ Delay Is Bad News for Revamp

IMO Ethereum can go much lower and nevertheless stay trustful crypto asset as volatility is a natural feature of any crypto project nowadays and would be so for some time more. And as for single crypto assets any can be manipulated by whales as even bitcoin does still not have big enough market cap to not to be manipulated.

ETH fell to as low as $950 this June 13, which is the proof that the whale sold its ETH possessions. Indeed, the economic situation is in red zone and the complete crypto market cap is under 1 trillion. This free fall is crazy however anticipated. ETH is additionally impacted however everyone love ETH, and will hold until better times comes.

Cardano Founder Announces Ethereum 2.0 Is Not As Early As You Think
https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2022/06/14/cardano-founder-announces-ethereum-2-0-is-not-as-early-as-you-think/
On the other hand, Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano disagrees with the proposition. He said that the public should expect it to be merged in around 2023 as the earliest time frame.

Ethereum network is still the most popular for creating own tokens so I see no reasons for significant decrease of transaction number. And as for the price... entire crypto market is in red zone for now. We just need to stay calm and hodl waiting for better times! Ethereum will go to the moon again in the future!

A price that keeps dropping is better than not being able to solve the problem of transaction fees, it's still too high

people still haven't stopped transacting on ethereum using lower fees 

in effect, not so good !!! in this crisis market (post-covid, global financial crisis induced by ukraine war)

  hahahahaha!

May be cypress forest has more sense then dolphin forest, but both Túnlín and Bǎilín are far from his surname sounding.
If only in context of a tweet of Vitalik Buterin referred in a first article:


Then of course he can introduce himself as Cypress Forest as well.

Ethereum 2.0 and ETH Ropsten Merge Explained

Ethereum Merge is one of the biggest stories in crypto moved one step closer to its end goal. Yesterday we witnessed Ropsten, Ethereum’s longest-running testnet, had a successful transition to the proof-of-stake algorithm.

"Ropsten will be the first longstanding testnet to run through The Merge
A new Ropsten Beacon Chain was launched on May 30, 2022 to provide consensus to the network
The Ropsten Beacon Chain will upgrade to merge-compatible protocol rules (Bellatrix) at slot 24000, expected on June 2, 2022"

Ropsten support will end after a successful testnet

Ethereum's Ropsten Testnet Set to 'Merge' Today
The Ropsten public testnet, Ethereum (ETH)'s longest-lived proof-of-work (PoW) testnet that allows for blockchain development testing before deployment on the mainnet, is expected to go through The Merge in a matter of hours.

https://cryptoslate.com/will-26b-staked-in-eth-2-0-be-unlocked-and-sold-after-the-merge/
Will $26B staked in ETH 2.0 be unlocked and sold after the merge?
Later this year 13 million ETH will be unlocked once Ethereum moves over to proof-of-stake leaving proof-of-work behind. Will this cause a sell the news event?
“there will be an exit queue which may take more than a year in the worst-case scenario or several months in a more realistic one. The release will be slow.”

---------

No matter how slow it is, $26B additional selling pressure is quite a lot IMO. Even now just 2 months before the alleged swtch to POS it is so big that eth/btc crashed 33% from the last top. This is especially discouraging for the miners who keep some stash with the hope that POS will bring more profits. I expect most of them to switch their rigs to ETC and, as in the first few years of ETH creation, to pump the price enough at some point to become profitable. 10x-50x increase (etc/BTC) is doable for ETC in the next 3 years, and it will surpass anything that ETH can achieve from now on. In the last bear cycle ETH touched 0.016BTC, now I can bet that it will fall at least to 0.03BTC. May be ETH will survive another crypto winter, may be not. Terra is a good lesson why people must not trust some shady individuals with their money. Except for mining and converting to BTC. That is how even the small home miners who started in 2016 with a single gaming gpu, are all millionaires now. So, overall, thank you Vitalik for this opportunity and farewell to your project!

In terms of the development of the Ether project, there are very big plans that they have already implemented into their product for a long time and this is very good news. Then he has a plan to reduce the price of gas and increase the transaction throughput in the network.

Ethereum 2.0 is about to come which will reduce the gas cost significantly and makes Ethereum a blockchain for everyone.
