Re: [ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

No, this HF has nothing to do with the POS. There is no certain date for ETH 2.0, just rumors that it will start in Jan 2020. It is not clear whether a full POS will be introduced, or mixed POS/POW at first for better security. Full POS may happen still in Q1 2020 if there are no bugs.

An update of this huge caliber should be announced more than 2 months earlier, so I'm sure it won't happen on January... it's too soon and there's no official announcement.

Now that I think about it, I've been hearing about Ethereum's POS for about 2 years now!

We are going parallel, PoS and PoW at the same time.
There is no exact date for the launch of the Beacon chain until now. Last time it was scheduled this year but it was delayed,
But I am sure it will not later than 2020.
Just keep watching this blog to get the latest information about ETH 2.0: https://blog.ethereum.org/

there should be excat time for the launch. already market condition is not good at this time and its going low. and according to my point of views market will go more down for now and don't know where will be the bottom eth could touch 100$ again in this year.

The market situation is not important here because ETH community is kept for ETH 2.0 from many days if they still drag this means defining the price of ETH coin will easy touch 100$ mark again with this market fluctuation. So it is very good to release specific dates when they are releasing the ETH 2.0.

It's a really important thing, as you can see there was a whale who has already started to send his ethereum to the exchange site. The price means trust from the buyers and holders. ETA has already published and the next hardfork will have done in the next month. The market is only following where bitcoin is going on.
How deep the bottom price of ethereum will be decided by bitcoin consider bitcoin is the only coin that was affecting the whole price of the cryptocurrency.
