As I've often said, I'll believe Ethereum's switch to proof-of-stake is really happening when it happens, but they've set a date and performed a dry run, so it's more plausible now than it was a month ago. (Or the month before that, or the month before that, or...)
It won't make cryptocurrency any less of a solution in search of a problem, but it will significantly reduce its environmental impact, so it'll still be good news if it actually happens.
Well I'll be a monkey's uncle. They actually did it.
No more mining: Ethereum completes the highly anticipated “Merge”
