There is no “ETH 1.0” token or “ETH 2.0” token. There is only ETH. They never “convert”.

Anyone can fork the code at any time and keep mining. Many have. ETC and ELLA are a couple examples. Ethereum Genysys is a recent project in response to the PoS move.

ETH 2.0 was always just a series of upgrades. “The merge” which will end PoW mining is expected to go live between March 30th and June sometime at the latest. Code is expected to be complete in February sometime. Testing is well underway already.

What about stakes eth on Coinbase? Are we going to loose them and so all that money?

I am not intimately familiar with the staking terms on Coinbase, but from what I recall, you should be able to withdraw your ETH at any time and receive it in at most a few days. If it has a lockup period, those terms would be very clearly stated, and you would eventually get your original investment back plus rewards according to the terms.
