Are you worried about ETH becoming inflationary again?

[Zed0X]

I can't really remember what the maximum supply of ethereum was like in the old days, was it a fixed maximum supply or was it unlimited from the start.
If there was already an unlimited maximum supply, then I'm curious as to why you think this way about it now.
Is it just that its price hasn't grown like others or is there something more important things on the line?

It has no cap to the total supply from the start if I remember correctly but there's like a yearly limit on the new supply. They call it the linear growth or whatever and some people say it's not right to call it 'unlimited' because of that limit

The move from POW to POS was probably the reason why some ETH supporters completely left.

What a dangerous matter i always think Ethereum is best coin for investment. So i always invest on Ethereum and trade on it. But now we are seeing It gradually going to luna.I think Ethereum will come back and it will survive with his tradition. Because i still believe on Ethereum.
Now i also skip Ethereum to invest and trade. But i wish within short time i will be able to trade on Ethereum.

No one is forcing you not to invest in ETH, and no one is forcing you to invest in ETH. So, you should be able to do whatever you like. I just shared my personal opinion about ETH and its future. ETH has moved from POW to POS, and since then, ETH has started to fall slowly, and it went below 2K even in the bull run. I believe they have minted a lot of ETH and dumped it on the market. You never know what they are doing. I don't want to rely on unknown people who has the ability to manipulate the market. Instead, I will rely on a decentralized coin that cannot be manipulated. So, Bitcoin is best for me.

Eth successfully transitioned to POS on September 15, 2022, and the ETH price has seen significant volatility since then. Currently, it's just retracing to find support around 2K USD, I don't think this is due to POS.

We can check everything on the blockchain to see if ETH has been minted irrationally, and the answer is NO. The EF is not arbitrarily minting ETH to dump; in fact, they've opted for DeFi to cover operating costs. The stagnation of the ETH price could be due to the less successful spot ETH ETF and the unexpected efficiency of L2s. If L2s plan to burn some ETH from their revenue, this would be a catalyst for the ETH price to rise.

Thank you for mentioning this. I really can't remember that if Ethereum had a maximum supply limit in the early days.
But I will not agree with this that Ethereum is not infinity I mean unlimited maximum supply. Because no matter how much linear growth or whatever they show to us here, at the end of the day they will be seen increasing their maximum supply every year which will definitely create inflation in Ethereum. And the most important fact is they move from POW to POS which make them more untrustworthy to some  users.

The supply of ethereum is indeed large, this is what makes the price of ethereum not as high as bitcoin. Unlimited supply makes the price less able to penetrate high numbers, ethereum dev should try to limit the limit of ethereum.
because with increasing demand and limited supply, the price will increase.

ETH has an unlimited total supply, and the EF has stated that this is an advantage for Eth to become the new currency of an economy with unlimited goods. We've known this for a long time and have witnessed the continuous price increase of ETH. This shows that total supply and inflation are not the main reasons for ETH's price struggles this season.

I think the narrative around Eth hasn't really captivated investors yet. The EF is looking for ways to increase transactions and burn more ETH on the market, and consensus from L2s will be a necessary condition for the EF to achieve this expectation. Also, when the time comes, I believe the ETH price will still rise to lead the altseason.

I don't think Ethereum has any features that would make it comparable to Bitcoin. Even if it had a limited maximum supply, I don't think its maximum supply would be less than Bitcoin's or that it would be as decentralized as Bitcoin. So comparing etherium to Bitcoin will be completely illogical.
And I also don't think Ethereum can ever be brought to this state as you are saying that they will set a limited maximum. But what can be done is if Ethereum is shifted from pos to pofw in the future, then maybe its value will be a little better than it is now.

+ I like your idea

POF? Are you referring to POW? I've always considered POS to be the inevitable future of blockchain technology, and only a few blockchains have valid reasons to use POW to prioritize energy and hardware decentralization.

Eth has worked hard to transition from POW to POS, so I believe it won't revert to POW. Validators won't be willing to spend a lot of money just to go back to the expensive and energy-intensive GPU system. Eth's mission is to unlock new potentials of blockchain, not just be another version of BTC. I believe that as long as Eth continues to be developed and led effectively, it will only get better and maintain its leading position in the altcoin market.

Exactly you are right. I made  a typing mistake it is Proof of work what I mean.
To be honest, there is logic in your words that we cannot disagree with, but I still think that the potential of Proof of Stake is much less than Proof of Work.
And that is why if we see that when Ethereum shifted from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake, then these struggling stages started in the Ethereum market.
Now I don't really know if they will have any better ideas. But maybe if they go back to Proof of Work, their market demand will increase again.

Everything is possible, and we'll wait and see where Eth goes. Currently, the EF is aiming for the Pectra upgrade and has encountered some issues that caused several tests to fail. I'm not familiar with technology or smart contracts, I can only guess that the EF will only succeed in another 6-9 months when they perfect their technology.

We don't have any information on whether the EF wants to return to POW, so the possibility of this is extremely low. Even if a group wanted this to happen, I believe it would require a hardfork for Eth. Also, Ethw is currently still operating with POW, but its price performance is even worse than ETH, and we haven't heard any news about its ecosystem development.

I agree with you because it is true that anything is possible in cryptocurrency.
Even though I don't know much about their Spectra upgrade, I will always have a little doubt whether they will be able to make any improvements in their market after that upgrade. But at the same time, I also keep in mind that they have been able to hold the title of best altcoin yet, of course their developers have that kind of ability. So I hope that the next upgrades of Ethereum will be useful to us, considering the interests of the wider public.

I am part of the one who is really looking forward to the increase in Ethereum, because besides the fairly tight conditions this time, Ethereum must somehow have a strong increase as the top 2 crypto. This will not be that easy because so far the price of Ethereum and also the increase in its market cap may not be that significant. However, we understand how market conditions will be much worse if the price drops drastically. However, let's just enjoy what is happening to Ethereum now, through some of its improvements and also how this coin can survive among various new altcoins and other top coins that always want to catch up with Ethereum.

If I were a whale, I wouldn't have any reason for ETH to fail this season. It's still the ecosystem with the largest TVL and extremely high liquidity, and it's led most of the major trends in this market for many years. More importantly, whales have bought a lot of ETH, and they need a chance to pump the price to take profits this season.

The current lack of excitement in the ecosystem and the native token inflation are temporarily impacting investor sentiment negatively, but I believe it's part of the whales' plan to force holders to sell ETH right before the uptrend. If I had a lot of ETH, I would continue to hold instead of rushing to sell off, as I haven't found any investment opportunity that balances both safety and profit like ETH.

As the top altcoin, many investors expect the price of ethereum to rise so that we can see the altcoin season soon, but in reality the price of ethereum is still far from its ATH.
We are indeed enjoying the current conditions, because bitcoin is still below $90K and has not returned to a price above $90K and this will likely last for the next few months, this is just a prediction.

Everyone can only make predictions because the certainty is very difficult to guess because the situation is always moving quickly, either increasing or decreasing.
I totally agree, ethereum is the best altcoin to date. If there is an increase, then it is certain that all altcoins will also be able to move to increase, but you do need to be patient because it takes time and is still quite long for this year and be patient for that.
