Actually not at all ... but on the other hand it's like watching reality tv and hoping the cracks start to show in the first few days, watching like this:
I'm interested, but IMO the merge itself will be a non-event. It'll probably launch, maybe with some bugs.
The real drama is going to come after the fact, namely:
How much Lido continues to dominate validator share (currently at ~33%). They recently voted against self-capping.
The great unlock of funds in the beacon chain. The code or even specification of this haven't even been written to my knowledge. Do devs even have an incentive to unlock funds as it dillutes circulating supply? This is years away IMO.
Censorship as > 50% of block builders are entities which can be easily pressured (exchanges + Lido).
I am interested, but not following closely, and I am only interested because I think it is important for bitcoin, as a community, to be aware of its environment. And right now that environment includes various competitors such as the one undertaking this merge. Maybe there is something we will learn from it. Or maybe there will be people adversely affected by the merge which will be welcomed into bitcoin. Or none of the above.
