What exactly does it mean if someone has to explain it in normal understandable language?‌

 

[troubled soul]

"The Ethereum Merge is a network update to transition Ethereum‍ from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism."

Proof-of-Work (PoW)->>>>> Required Mining Hardware to validate⁠ transaction
Proof-of-Stake (PoS)>>>>> Not required
Meaning you do not required mining hardware any longer ...⁤ Do not required high Energy consumption to run ETH..

The Ethereum Merge was successfully completed. A new era begins!

It is not ready until my broker allows trading ETH again 😉

POS is nothing groundbreaking...
Cardano, Atom, Polkadot etc etc all have it‍ since a long time.
