Vitalik's suggestion that Eth merge with Bitcoin Cash is not helping with clarity either.

But will this merger be just marketing related or will the blockchains be merged?

Neither. My understanding is that running Ethereum on the Bitcoin Cash blockchain network is a short term bandaid to handle scaling to give more time to Vitalik and the team to come up with a true solution. If I understand that right (and that's a big if) then seems to me that this would dilute the brand at a very risky time and confuse an already cloudy space. I don't think it would be good for price, and since it is stated as a short term fix I don't think it would be good for the Ethereum network in general. There is also always the danger that this short term fix could become permanent, as they so often do and the long term scaling issue never truly goes away.

Agreed. ...but I think most influential ETH devs etc.. are aware of that, and it is unlikely to come to anything.

Still no Ethereum 2.0/scaling/plasma/PoS/max supply/etc... Roll Eyes

If Vitalik and other Ethereum developers fail to get to these achievements by the Q2 of 2020, people will probably start moving to Cardano with their smart contracts and dApps. However, if Ethereum achieves scalability before the release of Basho phase of Cardano (which is expected to get completed by Q2 of 2020), ADA will look like a failure. Interesting times ahead...
