Can someone ELI5? If I have some random ETH is it "eth2"? Can that be cashed out?
Yes, "eth2" is Ethereum. They tried to stop calling it Ethereum 2.0 because people got confused and thought they have to do something. They don't.
Every Ethereum in existence is still the same as before the merge. You can now only also stake it. Then you can't cash out (except for liquid staking).
The only other Ethereum tokens are ETHW (ETH which still uses Pow) and ETC (classic ETH where the DAO hack isn't reverted)

Whats the point of ETHW? Is it just that its still mine-able??
