I don't think people need to rush to start depositing into the contract for now since the launch is December, the hype would help Ether price initially but people would later discovered it is no event. I don't see this moving the price the way some people are projecting
No harm if the people who deposit already know very well what they are doing. In crypto market no one could predict market, there might be only a minor update to a coin but it could still be pumped and this eth 2.0 is already waited by many since long.
pretty sure that it's gonna bring significant effect to eth market although there's always possibility that's not gonna happen. hoping for the best but expecting the worst.
