Postponed would mean the date was officially announced by one of the devs? I've not had time to pay attention much over the past months, but to me that June date was always a silly rumor. Correct me if I'm wrong. End of year is what I heard, but even that isn't set in stone of course and I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't happen till then.

There will be a go/no-go decision on April 29 (two weeks from now) re: "doing the real thing in July". See my previous comment above.

  I don't remember having to follow twitter accounts to understand how a five euro note works.

    Where would you go to learn how a 5 euro note works, if everyone around you didn't already know? Most people just learn from their environment.

Wasn't the original PoS called Casper? IIRC that was like 3-6mo away 5 years ago.

They planned an April vote for a go/no-go vote for July. The decision was no-go, and pushed back to an estimated "autumn", so, literally "6months away", as usual.
