They couldn’t find a miner to support the reduction in block reward.  What I bet happens is Ethereum ends up having to hard fork away to get these changes implemented.  Miners will stick to the chain they on now because they don’t want to see a reduction in profits. Problem Is those propping the coin up are the ones wanting the reduction.  Stuck between rock and hard place I’d say.  Quite the conundrum. End result will be loss in mining rewards in terms of usd no matter what they decide.  I’d say pow mining has some major issues that need addressed.  Maybe it’s not a viable way to secure a blockchain.  Greed if left unchecked becomes cancerous in nature.  If that is what is to happen to crypto then so be it.  just be ready for it is all I ask
