I think when they start the fork of Ethereum, everyone will only be happy, the worst will be to miners, and they will already look at the coin in a completely different way.
ETHEREUM is building value support to be profitable in mining after the fork coming in mid Jan 2019, when the block reward will be 2 ETH per block, instead of 3
Ethereum will switch to POS in 2019. I also think that its price will rise.
