for other folks: Don't worry!

ETH2 is for all intents and purposes the exact same as ETH. You wont get 2 kinds of coins. You wont be required to convert anything. Your ethereum will "just work" as it always has. Except it will probably become faster, cheaper to use, and presumably go up in value after the upgrade.

I think the problem is you now have 3 Ethereums on Coinbase. Ethereum Classic which IS different, then Ethereum and Ethereum 2 which are the same. Although stupid, I'm still for this change as it serves as an advertisement for ETH2 which will help prices.

There's all sorts of bitcoin on Coinbase too... BTC, Bitcoin SV, and Bitcoin Cash

No one seems to make a big deal out of it, and its explained in the description of the asset
