Its pretty impressive but its worth to point out that its mostly a pre-merge hype. After its done, after "buy rumours sell facts event" and spectacular dump, bitcoin will come back on top once again.

It is definitely the hype and the rumor mills running that there might be another fork and users might be thinking easy money as they have seen in the past with the other forks. But the fact is that they are making a big change in the protocol level which can create major technical issues which is much risky in many levels and i would definitely stay away from ETH for the time being Wink

.

This is similar to what happened back in the day when the developers wanted to activate the segwit upgrade and the miners decided to create their own coin, this created a lot of hype for bitcoin back then and this created a huge interest in buying bitcoin because you could get two coins for the price of one, and now we are seeing something very similar happening with ethereum, however I have my doubts that we will see the price to skyrocket as the market conditions do not seem to be conductive of such movement.

I am not sure if there will be an "ethereum cash" type of deal or "ethereumsatoshis vision" type of deal at all. Those things were created and got a bit of attention at first, but then they went down hard, they are nowhere to be found right now, which is a proof that people already realized what a mistake it is to buy them, and that means if anyone tries to go around ethereum, then they are going to lose money just like they did with bitcoin cash.

Of course, the early ones who got it for free made a bit of profit, but anyone after that lost money because it dropped when all else went up. Hence, ethereum is the only one and won't be getting any proper competition.
