I heard the fork will finally happen on the 28th of February and am patiently waiting for the fork
me too and just try to hope all of the progress will be working perfectly without any problem in the ethereum network. We are waiting for more and more block reward decrease and that's it. People are waiting for that too.
I think that much more important than the price increase is that technology connected with the cryptocurrency market is still developing. Such an upgrade will allow the development of further projects and ofcourse the entire market.
