The Ethereum Merge generated a lot of interest in Ethereum Classic. The Merge is the event Ethereum has been building up to ever since its launch in 2015. It will transition Ethereum from a Proof of Work (PoW) consensus mechanism to Proof of Stake (PoS). It will lower Ethereum’s energy footprint as well as decrease the costs of running a node. As a result, Ethereum will become more energy efficient and more decentralized. Conversely, Ethereum Classic would remain the same - using PoW consensus. It has stayed under the radar for a while, whereas Ethereum has been the talk of the town. But as we get closer to the Merge, more miners are considering Ethereum Classic as an alternative. So in this video, we will put Ethereum and Ethereum Classic together to see how they compare against each other.
