Market remains largely bullish for Ethereum (ETH)

Despite Ether’s downward price movement, market ok at Wes are vs full largely bullish for Ethereum. The collective sentiment amongst Ether proponents is that the upcoming Ethereum merge, which is scheduled for the second quarter of 2022, will trigger Ether bulls.

The Ethereum merge will see the network go from a Proof-of-work model, to a proof-of-stake model. With the merge comes a decline in Ethereu’s supply. Ethereum mining will also become a thing of the past.

Billionaire Mark Cuban, a well-known Ethereum proponent, has recently expressed that he’s especially looking forward to less Ethereum insurance, as well as how much of a deflationary asset Ether will become.

Popular Cryptocontent creator and investor Ben Armstrong, also highlighted the significance of the merge.

We may range for a couple more months but make no mistake, our final stand is the ETH Merge. If that isn’t enough to gain bullish momentum then 2022 could get ugly he said, in a recent tweet.
