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
Agree, and it's not like it's a mandatory thing to do anyway. Let's just wait for ETH 2.0 to be fully functional before we could do anything with it. I just hope that they don't really let our expectation down especially that they created this hype in the community.
Though I bet this is also a driving factor why Bitcoin is surging right now.
