Are you worried about ETH becoming inflationary again?

[KryptoBull]

of course someone will choose ethereum as an option for investing in altcoins. because the results are definitely promising where ethereum continues to be at the top of the altcoin rankings. and ethereum also tends to be more stable than SOL and doge coins. and ethereum has been proven to provide many benefits for its investors

You have a really strong belief in the potential and future of ETH, and I think many experienced investors in this market share the same sentiment. ETH has brought profits to many investors through its strong price increases in past seasons, and it's also the leading blockchain that drives the technological trends of the entire market while BTC remains focused on decentralization and security.

I'm expecting ETH to rise again, but it seems this will only happen when ETH ETFs receive strong inflows and BTC price stabilizes above 80K USD. Right now, while ETH price has yet to set a new ATH, the opportunity to accumulate ETH is still open to all who believe in Ether.

Ethereum Platform with its Coin ETH is the best platform from the past to the present in this Cryptocurreny, only one weakness of this crypto Platform.
Namely the very expensive transaction costs, in addition to the expensive Ethereum Gas costs, ETH is still widely sought after by many people.
This is because of the many crypto projects that stand on this platform, and the more people who buy this ETH will be very good for the development of ETH prices in the future.

Ethereum has been around for a long time, and its design doesn't allow for easy updates or scaling. That's why L2 solutions are the focus of the Ethereum Foundation, not sharding like in the old plan. High fees and slow speeds come with very good decentralization and enough security for financial institutions to trust for large-scale purposes.

The limitations of Ethereum have been addressed with L2 and EVM. I don't think we need to worry about ETH's position and potential in this market. Besides BTC, ETH is always my suggestion for a crypto portfolio.

We know that ethereum is the second level crypto in cryptocurrency market. We also know that ethereum price is also good position in this moment. But another we saw that ethereum price is down sometimes, than we called it inflationary in cryptocurrency market. But we also know that when bitcoin price will be high level, than ethereum price will be increase. So i can not worried about ethereum, because we believe that within a short time ethereum overtake inflationary in cryptocurrency world.

Yeah.
Bounces and corrections are natural for all coins, to different extents.
ETH is there to stay, for sure.

I would like to know your opinion on this issue:

• Do you think the current inflation is a failure of Ethereum?
• Do you believe that this inflation will end soon and ETH will continue to deflate?
• Will you still invest in ETH even if it continues to be inflated?

1. This depends how we define the current inflation. If we consider it since the merge, it is -0.07% and remains deflationary (just). Granted in the past month it has also been +0.55% inflationary. So far this seems to be about as high as it has got, which is not major amounts of inflation, in fact it's still less than Bitcoin so shouldn't be a concern as of yet.

2. I'm not sure about returning to deflationary soon, but otherwise yes I believe it will begin to deflate again (even if only to wipe out the recent inflation). So far we have seen a clear trend of Ethereum being deflationary during uptrends (such as 2023) and during sideways or bearish it will no doubt continue to be inflationary.

3. Personally for me the inflation being between +/-1% doesn't change my opinion much. I'm just relieved that the difficulty bomb was resolved that previously led to very high inflation. It's also possible that during a full blown bull market would loose 1-2% of it's supply to the burn, and therefore becoming inflationary again for a year or two during another bear market wouldn't be an issue as would only be increasing the supply back to where it was. It's possible the future supply equilibrium will remain around 120 million, which also wouldn't be an issue if is neither inflationary or deflationary.

Good news is that currently the number of transactions on Ethereum has increased again and gas has risen as the market has a more positive outlook on the uptrend in Q4. This shows that Ether is still a popular and worth-investing ecosystem. Inflation will soon be pushed back as more ETH will be burned from transaction fees.

For long-term investors with strong belief in the value of Ether, a +/- few % in the total circulating supply of ETH is not a problem. They are continuing to hold and deserve to receive profits when ETH creates a new ATH this season, when Ether is extremely hot and everyone wants to have ETH and ERC20 tokens.

I don't see any good news from Ethereum price after dropping last several weeks ago under $2,1k very difficult returning back to higher price usually Ethereum have stable above $3,5k. I don't know worth it or not by investing with ethereum right now exactly for long term because many weeks waiting for price difficult recovery although bitcoin show good moment reach higher price.
I don't have dreaming with Ethereum will create new ATH after my ETH assets holding get decreasing more than two months hold it.

ethereum might not be the biggest gainer among altcoins now and even in the foreseeable future however i still would not cross out ethereum if you could afford to buy eth i do not think it will cause a lot of harm compared to other altcoins that possess more risks despite ethereum not doing the best i still believe it can be trusted and we can still gain some good profit by the time altcoin season peaks

although bitcoin show good moment reach higher price.
I don't have dreaming with Ethereum will create new ATH after my ETH assets holding get decreasing more than two months hold it.

i really do not let the dips of bitcoin and ethereum to discourage me because they are the most reliable coins in crypto and it does not seem to me that any project is close to surprassing either of the two

We're still in a recovery phase, and the money flow is still going into BTC rather than altcoins. You might be losing patience with ETH as you see many memecoins surging, but that could be a tactic whales are using to pressure us into selling our ETH to them at a low price.

The resurgence of Ether L1 and the success of Ether L2 will ensure ETH's price increase in the future. I also have some ETH, and I'll continue holding it until the end of this season rather than being scared by the temporary loss in my portfolio.

In fact, Ethereum has remained well above $2.4k, and a drop of this magnitude could prove discomforting to investors more inclined to HODL their Ethereum for the next few months. Nonetheless, it is crucial for crypto traders to know that crypto markets and even ethereum experience inclined trends, and bitcoin price differences can sometimes be steep, and price bounce can take considerably long. As it stands, Bitcoin is strong at the moment but major altcoins such as Ethereum have often taken time, following this sort of trajectory. In the long term, however, Ethereum again has good fundamental prices, due to the DeFi environment, NFTs and other technological improvements that can also support new hikes in the future. Hence, one has to decide to hold on to the technology because of the faith that is placed in the future of application of the technology.

I'm not overly concerned with Ether's technology; I simply see it as a crucial component of the whales pump-and-dump schemes. Capital is flowing into BTC and will soon shift towards ETH and other top coins in the market. The recent rally of a few memecoins or AI-coins is merely a small part of the capital rotation we're anticipating.

Right now, ETH might have escaped deflation thanks to the renewed vitality of the Ether ecosystem and numerous Layer 2 solutions. Anything can happen, but in my personal view, ETH will continue to achieve significant success in this market and reaching a new ATH in 2025 is entirely feasible.

It's feasible also thanks to the fact that BTC dominance is being tested at the moment - if it won't breach the zones down 57%-56%, then it won't go and update its low points.
Otherwise, it would be an alt season

How a coin becomes inflationary? I think that should be obvious to everyone - by printing more of it.

Ethereum and other coins try to make an artificial deflation by burning some of their already existing coins (for which there is an extremely high or in some cases [looking at you, Dogecoin] even unlimited). But that usually never works to make the price go higher, it just keeps it at the same level.

Bitcoin on the other hand has strict defined circulation quantities that decrease every four years, so the deflation actually works without requiring burned BTC.

I think there's a misconception here: BTC is also inflationary. New BTC is added to the market every day. Only the inflation rate is halved every 4 years through the halving event.

Token burning, especially from transaction fees, is becoming quite common. Binance even burns BNB using CEX revenue to ensure strong price support and make it a worthwhile investment. Ethereum is now more active, more ETH will be burned, and we can soon stop worrying about ETH inflation.

Well, you are right about that, the BTC is also inflationary given that new coins are being produced every day. But here its inflation is limited by the halving, by which the rate at which new BTC enters the market slows down every four years. While the token burns such as that implemented by Binance for BNB and that which was adopted by Ethereum after EIP-1559 burn rates are now an effective way to control the supply of token so that its value is not easily diminished. Those burns, most notably those generated from transaction fees, are quite efficient at applying that pressure for deflation. Since Ethereum has recently stepped up the process of burning, inflation fears over ETH have been minimized, making the coin a better investment.

Indeed, yes because of Bitcoin's very high dominance for the crypto market, that's why almost all altcoins, especially old coins, usually their movements will be in accordance with and follow the movement of Bitcoin. Only a few or some new coins are hype that are not because they are only based on hype. However, for old coins, especially ETH as the top of Altcoin, they will follow the direction of Bitcoin's price movement. However, it also still pays attention to how the devs develop each altcoin, well for ETH, indeed when compared to other top coins, it can be said that its development is longer or not as good as other top coins such as Solana and BNB, but still, ETH already has a name and a very high market cap compared to other altcoins. that's why it's one of the reasons why you should hold ETH following Bitcoin.
