@BanklessHQ @RyanSAdams @TrustlessState Is there a reason that $ETH should be staked prior to the merge vs. post-merge? Does staking post-merge carry any negative connotations (such as missing out on rewards) vs possessing already staked $ETH going into the merge?

I don't know who needs to hear this but if the big regulatory battles are being fought about a different cryptocurrency, it's not because your preferred crypto is more decentralized, it's because governments aren't worried about the things it does and how it does them.
