Why ETH will flip BTC:

There are 900 BTC mined per day. At present costs, that’s ~$20mm to miners each day

Let’s assume miners promote 90% to cowl prices. That’s ~$18mm in promote stress *each single day*

Meaning, with out ~$18mm of new each day purchase stress, BTC worth goes down

He went on to say:

“What if that ~$18mm in each day promote stress vanished – what would that do to BTC’s worth? Wouldn’t it naturally drift up with every marginal new purchaser vs being continually weighed down by each day promote stress? This is strictly what will occur to ETH after the Merge“
“Today, ETH has an analogous story: 14,250 ETH issued to miners (+ validators) each day. That’s ~$21mm in potential each day promote stress (Technically much less as validator block rewards can’t be offered but, however let’s ignore) Post merge, the ~$21mm in each day promote stress goes to $0“
“Actually, most often, the online each day issuance goes unfavourable, since sufficient ETH is burned (through EIP-1559 burning tx basefees) that extra ETH is eliminated than issued This implies that there may very well be web each day purchase stress on ETH (and not using a greenback of exterior capital getting into)“
“This is the argument for ETH’s financial sustainability If eradicating all each day promote stress from BTC would assist BTC worth, then it stands to purpose that bringing web ETH issuance to zero (or unfavourable) is bullish for ETH There’s no extra structural promote stress publish Merge“
“The Merge is coming; ETH will remodel into an economically (and environmentally and recreation theoretically) sustainable asset – arguably extra so than BTC…“

On July 21, Russian-Canadian programmer Vitalik Buterin, who’s the creator of Ethereum, shared his ideas about “the longer-term future of the Ethereum protocol” at the annual Ethereum Community Conference (EthCC) in Paris, France.

Buterin began his speak by saying:

“The Etheruem protocol proper now’s within the center of this lengthy and sophisticated transition, and it’s a transition towards turning into a system, which is far more highly effective and sturdy in loads of methods, proper?

“At the tip of the final yr, I revealed this sort of up to date roadmap doc, the place I talked about these large 5 classes of stuff that’s taking place in Ethereum protocol land, the place there’s the merge, the surge, the verge, after which a bit decrease goes to be the purge and the splurge, proper?

“The Merge is proof of stake. The Surge is sharding, and The Verge is Verkle Trees, The Purge is issues like state expiry and deleting outdated historical past, and The Splurge is mainly simply all of the opposite enjoyable stuff.”
