The proof-of-stake switch is also pretty unlikely to ever actually happen.



The merge will absolutely happen, there are 12.6m ETH in the staking contract [1] that people want out of there and the only way to get it is to get to the next steps.

Sorry but I'll believe it when it happens.


When is irrelevant in my eyes, it honestly doesn't matter. It will happen though.
