we should have some additional tools already and see the benefits from many technical developments but as we all can see this isn't the case.
I have seen it so many times that already by first delays I just knew "Houston we have problem" and red lamp started to blink
ETH price shows exactly what people think about it and only thanks to low prices we see lower fees, ETH lost a lot, they will never get it back, in my opinion this is just too big task to implement all what they wanted, to literally change how Ethereum operates at that stage with so many projects congested together - build on ETH
in my opinion ETH 2.0 this is "mission impossible" and to be safu they need time - we all know this is the only asset nobody have, especially in crypto
I agree that GOLD token needs another coin in the Marketplace and I suggest USDT (TRC20) , this is the most used coin on TRON - fast, cheap chain that is available/accepted everywhere, if not then BUSD/USDC - we need pair with stablecoin - this will be so much better and easier/cheaper to use.
I am sure Digital Gold team is working on this as we speak and soon we will have more pairs in the GOLD token Marketplace
Not sure about the Ethereum 2 launch date because as well as we know they delayed the launch date everytime and that's not something new about launch date of Ethereum 2.
But regarding the Marketplace and adding some new coins as new pairs for digital gold. I guess USDT is not a good option to be added because there are some regulation issues about using it, but in my own idea the digital gold team can consider adding other stablecoins such as dai so they won't have regulation issues, however, added new pair requires some liquidity and as far as I know that's not going to be free to the team.
