Is this ideal or let me use the word most suitable, I plan not to buy Ethereum until the merge is complete because
1. Its been years that we've been waiting for this merge to happen and there have been so many delays and postponements for the past years, I doubt things will go smoothly, what if something so catastrophic happens to Ethereum when and after the merge?. .this upgrade has not been tested yet so anything could go wrong.
2. Many exchanges already halted every Eth transactions starting from today and that's even on other chains as well, I think they knew anything could go wrong, even erc20 tokens can't be processed or sent when the merge is close am I right?
I am open to learning more about crypto, if you think there are things I don't understand please do correct me in a friendly way, God bless
1. Even if something catastrophic doesn't happen it could be instant "sell the news" -event where everyone has waited so long for the forked coins and possible price rising and when that happens, they dump the market. And even people not dumping will found out nothing special happens immediately they get bored and probably lot of them will sell.
2. That's just being cautious. They are dealing with very high marketcap coin with insane volume. If something WOULD go wrong, without backrolling the chain the damage could be worth billions.
3. What's happening now is a hard fork that prepares the chain for the merge. The merget itself is happening around 13-15th.
