Bitcoin’s Price at stake over Ethereum’s Merge

Research has shown that the establishment of the Ethereum Merge upgrade will cause the Bitcoin network to be regulated away hence the crashing of its value.

Kyle McDonald, a researcher, advises investors to sell Bitcoin since the upcoming Ethereum merge will have a less energy-intensive way of verifying transactions as opposed to the high energy that Bitcoin uses. 

He also said that Bitcoin is likely to collapse due to a lack of coordination which will help it leave proof of work. In addition, he revealed that Bitcoin might never reach $69,000 again due to the dispute between environmental activists and governments over crypto’s energy consumption.

Ethereum Merge will cut down energy costs by a great significance by reducing millions of Graphic Processing Units (GPU) to thousands of computers that are low energy intensive.
