Well the move to Ethereum 2.0 is expected in late July 2020, about 1 or so months after the Bitcoin halving. This upgrade will move to build on its Proof of Work (where miners confirm blocks for a reward) to include Proof of Stake where people can stake ETH for a reward. This will also reduce the energy requirement for the Ethereum blockchain.
It will be great for increasing transactions and as an income for the Ethereum holders. Many of them long-term holders. This reward is a huge incentive and cannot be understated. Ethereum is growing big with dapps, hex token and stable coins driving transaction growth and a wide range of solutions. Staking will turbo boost it.
There are always risks of course. Price of ETH goes down while staking. Price is never gauranteed and many of the staking coins experienced terrible returns over the last two years (except for periodic P&D). But there are more upsides than potential downsides.
This upgrade will have many more features and we will look to explored them such as security, scalability and decentralisation in future posts. :)

Always quality posts. Ethereum 2.0 will be awesome. I have been wanting staking for ages on this huge crypto. My dreams have come true!
