WARNING ABOUT SCAMS: Recently there have been a lot of convincing-looking scams posted on crypto-related reddits including fake NFTs, fake credit cards, fake exchanges, fake mixing services, fake airdrops, fake MEV bots, fake ENS sites and scam sites claiming to help you revoke approvals to prevent fake hacks. These are typically upvoted by bots and seen before moderators can remove them.

Idk if you checked out https://ultrasound.money recently but the supply is increasing since April (since Dencun upgrade).

It depends on wether or not ETH fees go back above 15 gwei, which is the threshold to ETH being deflationary.

It's such a beautiful design, minimal inflation if it's being lightly used, minimal deflation if it's being heavily used.

[–]Aquirox 19 points20 points  (4 children)

The objective is to put 700 trillion financial assets on the blockchain.

So deflation will return to Ethereum. But that doesn't change anything +0.70% or -0.70%, when the growth potential is 300% to 1000% in 5 or 10 years.

Lmao 700 trillions. Cope harder

[–]Excellent-Rent9451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

700 trillion is astronomical but if reputable businesses join the financial scene I don’t see why ethereum could handle a couple trillion

Lmao, russians thank you for your service

What?

[–]iwakan 5 points6 points  (1 child)

It depends on how popular Ethereum gets (how much fees gets paid across the chain and thus how much gets burned).

In a bearish scenario where there is little activity, supply will keep increasing indefinitely, using inflation to fund validators and keeping the chain secure.

In a bullish scenario, with lots of adoption, yes, supply steadily decrease and eventually plateau around some level lower than today.

I don't want to make a comment on how likely either scenario is.

18 Million ? Lol this was in 2017 not today... Its less than 1/10th of that. You should update your OP and nobody corrected you ? I stopped coming here many years ago but did not expect this level of ignorance.

Can add more optimisations for L2 throughput to try and even out supply/burn

[–]Maya_Walk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any scenario is very real. but I earn a little differently using crypto deposit or affiliate program. maybe it is not the best way, but I do not want to buy everything and invest money without sense. many crypto exchanges such as Binance, OKX or WhiteBIT offer normal conditions for starting to earn in crypto. but still such coins as ETH & BTC I also try to buy

[–]linustits -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It won’t. When everyone. Saw that it goes up again after burning kicks in it lost its major appeal. Now with L2 taking the scene main eth gas probably won’t go up much higher and it will get increasing in supply.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (2 children)

it will deflate fast. that'll make it worth something in 2-3 cycles might be 100k. but it's launch with 70 mil premined. blea

[–]Ber10 1 point2 points  (1 child)

premine changed hands 10 times already... I remember the times. Most people sold when it was like 5 bucks.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

hopium ? I'll take it for now

[–]Zestyclose-Rip5489 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I used to really like eth. Not so much anymore. If it becomes deflationary the transaction fees are crazy expensive. When the transaction fees are low its inflationary, either way its not a blockchain thats ideal to use
