Well, how many times has it been delayed? Clearly it's not all sunshine and rainbows.

  What’s delayed? Beacon chain has been running on mainnet since last December-ish. http://beaconcha.in http://beaconcha.in

    They’ve been saying Etherium will switch to proof of stake “soon” since like 2017!

    The merge was going to happen by the end of this year, but miners complained https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26441399 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26441399 and then it was delayed again. https://www.coinhighlight.com/2021/10/ethereum-eth-devs-looking-to-delay-difficulty-time-bomb-what-could-this-mean/ https://www.coinhighlight.com/2021/10/ethereum-eth-devs-look...

      The merge was expedited over miner concerns, prioritizing it over sharding as originally planned, so it’s actually the opposite of what you are saying.

        Sorry, I didn't mean to draw such a straight line between the two things. My point is just that it didn't happen last year, and even after being expedited, it won't happen this year either.
