It will be interesting to see how the situation develops if they really do attempt to fork and if normal users want to use ETH2. Miners could potentially want to keep the blockchain going and the value could be artificially high, but with transactions falling down and holders migrating, they couldn't keep it up forever... <insert "dis gon' be good" gif>

There will almost certainly be a split chain that continues to run on pow. Eventually it will die off, like Eth classic
