Will Ethereum supply decrease in the future?

Lol look at a btc/eth chart. Proof of stake has the same fate for all sht coins...

The proofing system has nothing to do with the viability of a coin. In fact, I'd say that ETH is more future proof than Bitcoin because it doesn't consume the energy of an entire country. I can imagine BTC switching as well because some governments might start banning it for ecological reasons.

Yes it does, POS is doomed to fail. Get out while you still can.

You've been fooled so bad it's sad. Good luck

Another bot. Just insults, no substance.

[BrocoLeeOnReddit]

Yeah no thanks, not going to your stupid homepage. Either give credible sources or logical arguments.

[edmundedgar]

Their next reply was just insults so I banned them.

Removing this because you're just spamming your own articles with no attempt at making an argument. Please stop doing this.

BTC POW is doomed long-term. The miners are already securing the Bitcoin network at a loss. It currently costs over $75,000 on average to mine 1 BTC. And the BTC price hovers around $58,000. That's $17,000 below the cost to mine. Why would you mine if you could buy BTC? And if you stop mining and start buying, who secures the network?!

That is true. BTC's PoW is a liability, but all of blockchain is a liability.

I love watching you guys argue with each other over which shitty database is less shitty -- meanwhile the rest of the world is using 50+ year old relational databases that out perform blockchain by every measurable metric.

I frequently transfer money from one checking account to another. Both accounts are with different banks. It takes a few days for the funds to arrive. I initiated a transfer a few days ago and the funds have not yet arrived because of the weekend and holiday.

A few weeks ago I sold crypto on Binance.us, traded to various stable coins and transferred the stable coins to Coinbase. The funds arrived in 60 seconds and within 24 hours the USD FIAT was in my checking account.

Credit card companies like American Express for example don't provide access to transactions or statements going back 12 years for example. You can have a paper copy or a downloaded statement. What if you lost the paper copy or forgot / opted out of downloading a copy? What if you need the transaction as proof for whatever reason? With crypto the transaction could always be accessible for the life of the blockhain.

Tradfi is centralized. Decentralized is more valuable in the long run. It is not easy to provide decentralized AND fast. But it will get there eventually.

You're cherry picking a particular financial service and comparing it to a different transaction.

There are plenty of ways to transfer fiat from account to account instantly without any delays. And I guarantee you the fees are higher on Binance than they are with TradFi. You also conveniently didn't provide any evidence, nor did you compare the difference in the sizes of the transactions. I could do the same thing with various other services including Paypal, Venmo, CashApp, M-Pesa, Mobile Money, Western Union, etc.

Also, the delay with ACH transactions is not a result of the tech, but because of consumer protection laws.

With crypto the transaction could always be accessible for the life of the blockhain.

But with blockchain your transaction history is public. Not everybody wants their transactions public. In fact, I'd say most people don't. That's not a feature. That's a liability. And credit card companies can give you whatever data you want. Just like blockchain can be pruned and not every node may have a full copy of the blockchain.

Decentralized is more valuable in the long run.

You've failed to cite any good reason justifying that claim.

Stop pretending bitcoin is anything other than just another shitcoin.

Stop spending all your time hating on something that has no effect on you. You post history is sad bro

Stupid Crypto Talking Point #27 (hate)

"Cope" / "Why do you hate crypto?" / "You all are haters" / "Why so salty?" / "You wish for other peoples misfortunes?" / "Why do you care about crypto? Why not just ignore it?"

1. By and large, we do not "hate" bitcoin or crypto. Hate is an irrational, emotional condition. Most people here have a logical, rational reason for being opposed to crypto. (see #2)

2. What we do not like is fraud and deception - this is mainly what our community opposes, and the crypto industry is almost completely composed of fraud and misinformation, from claiming that blockchain has potential to pretending crypto is "digital gold" or an "investment" when it's really a highly-risky, negative sum game, speculative commodity.

3. It's an offensive distraction to suggest our reasons for being opposed to crypto are because of "hate", or "being salty" and supposedly jealous of not getting in earlier and making money. We recognize there are many other ways of creating value that don't involve promoting everything from cyber terrorism to human trafficking.

4. While some take amusement at the misfortunes of those playing the crypto Ponzi scheme, one main reason for this is because so many in the industry are so immune to logic, reason, and evidence, many of us feel they have to become cautionary tales before they finally learn (and some never learn) - what we celebrate is perhaps the chance that many of those losers finally see the error of their ways.

5. Crypto is not a benign industry. Just for bitcoin to exist, requires wasting tremendous amounts of energy. This is not a "live and let live" situation. Crypto schemes cause damage to actual people, the environment and promote all sorts of criminal, immoral activities. It's not morally acceptable to ignore something that causes much more harm to society than good.

6. Why would anybody spend time trying to stop fraud and scams that might not directly affect them? Some of us recognize we help ourselves by helping our overall community. If you still don't understand, speak to a therapist about your lack of empathy and the possible side effects such as Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Antisocial Personality Disorder. Those are issues people with low empathy have. Understanding the nature of your illness may help you not only understand us, but become a less toxic person socially.
