Ethereum's shiftin' to this new tech and I'm like, "what even is this?" Is it all about that Merge thing from last year? I remember ETH was around $4k, then boom, crypto winter. Now it's $1.6k-ish, give or take. Vitalik keeps tweeting like a tech sage, but honestly, do any of us really get it? Some folks on Reddit are saying it’s all about scalability and reducing carbon footprints, but how's that gonna affect my tiny bag? Analysts say bullish long-term but in crypto, long-term feels like forever. Gas fees, staking, zk-rollups—more buzzwords than my brain can handle. Maybe it’s time to dive into the rabbit hole or just hodl and see. It’s like, am I missing out or just trying to keep up with the cool kids?
