Is Ethereum going to collapse? I am beyond frustrated by the arbitrary nature of its development. And I have no idea what's going on because I haven't been following closely. Why is there ETH, ETH2, cbETH, and ETHW? I should have ETHW because of a hard fork but how come Coinbase doesn't give me any? I haven't been able to withdraw or sell my ETH for a year and I still can't after the merge.

The whole thing is suss. I'm just glad I didn't invest too much into ETH. Bitcoin so far has been much more transparent and consistent with the ethos of sound money, decentralization, and no gimmicks at the protocol level.
