What’s your opinion about this guys? You think this is a good decision by Vitalik Buterin? I know that there will be mixed opinions about this decision, so I wanna hear it from you guys. Thanks!
Not surprising honestly. All these gimmicks are just chess moves to try to stay relevent but in the grand scheme of things it's all pointless moves. Problem that eth has now is what happens if nfts and token releases don't gain any traction in a blue bear market. The next 1-2 years will be very telling for eth as far as where they will be positioned in the top tier of coins.
When it comes to renaming from ETH 2.0 to the consensus layer, it could actually just be a little chess move. However, when it comes to switching from PoS to PoW, it is a very big step forward. Once everything is in place, all other blockchains will be two years behind Ethereum. Of course, only if this change eliminates the problem of high transaction fees.
