We hope that the staggering popularity of Ethereum will not only recover, but also soar to an unprecedented level.

If ETH keeps staggering around these levels and we do not end up seeing anything get cheaper, in 4 months we could have BNB being higher than ETH and nobody could do anything about it, because BNB is a lot cheaper.
You may say that BNB is centralized while ETH is decentralized but the reality is that the "team" that does eth 2.0, or eip 1559 gets all the votes they want anyway, so it is not fully decentralized as long as vitalik does whatever changes he wants on the coin itself. Long story short, they need to do it in spring, probably during or before April, to have a fighters chance.
