Anyone planning to trade/speculate the Ethereum Merge event?

There are groups planning to fork the Ethereum Merge (switchover to a PoS Blockchain), possibly 2 PoW forks

Whatever Eth and Erc-20 tokens you have prior to the forks, you will be able to use your private keys on 2 or more blockchains

For anyone around in the 2017 Bitcoin fork events, if you have 1 BTC, you got 1 BCH and 1 BSV after the forks got implemented

----------

Or for the traders, anyone shorting prior to the Ethereum Merge hoping for a buy the rumor sell the news

----------

We can discuss on the thread safety tips on how to claim the forked coins if they are successful. Ethereum Foundation is putting a difficulty bomb to prevent these groups

It seems that dogpile searcher is letting you down, the most important link in the result is quite down in the list:

https://ethereum.org/en/upgrades/merge/

But I guess you don't need anything better anyway.

Hell yeah I do, always on the lookout for a better search engine.
My fave doesn't provide the ability to post up like dogpile. bing etc have a lot of chaff and crap taking up space in the return.

Whattayagot for me? Always open for suggestions.

I am trading Futures as always, not me really, my algos. I am doing well, thanks for asking.

The issue with web searchers is not about how many searcher you link together, meta-searchers like dogpile simply query multiple searchers and merge the results together, that can result in a list that is unfavorable to you, like the one you posted.

The answer is in the language, you as en English speaker get results in English and regardless of how many searchers you ask, you will get pretty much the same result.

Now try to search in multiple languages and you will see a difference.
As an extreme example try https://www.baidu.com/. The main searcher in Chinese.

You are fine with using Google, mainly because everyone copies their results, but the key is in the language and as an extension, the web domain.

Arthur Hayes wrote a pretty good piece on the meta-effects of Fed policy dovetailing with the merge here.
https://blog.bitmex.com/maxbidding/

TLDR: Fed will end tightening around NOW, slowly ease through foreign channels (covered in a previous blog post - quite interesting as well), and post-election (DEC Fed actions) - reinitiate nuclear QE. Stonks will do well, crypto better, ETH best of all IF successful merge.
Long ETH, adding on dips between now and DEC.
