1. The upcoming UPGRADE to the #Ethereum blockchain🚀 2. Triple halvening this september (roughly equivalent to three Bitcoin halvenings) 👀 and 3. Possible implications for #ETH price movements📈📉
2/n
The Upgrade!
#Ethereum is expected to move to proof-of-stake! First, a Bellatrix upgrade will take place in the Beacon Chain on September 6, 2022. Once a certain difficulty value is reached, the proof-of-work chain will transition to proof-of-stake (10. - 20. Sept. 2022).
3/n
Implications of the upgrade - Inflation for #ETH will decrease!
- Currently inflating at ~4.13% (4.93M per year/119.3M total)
- After merge at ~ 0.49% (584K per year/119.3M total)
The triple halvening is an issuance cliff roughly equivalent to three #Bitcoin halvenings👀
4/n
- #ETH issuance after The Merge is decreasing by ~90%
- Staking reward (APR) is expected to increase after Merge
- More #ETH will be staked
- Newly issued #ETH, at least 6-12 months following the Merge, will be locked
- Demand will surge after The Merge
- decreased inflation
- The Merge will reduce #Ethereum's energy consumption by ~99.95%
- Staking reward (APR)↑
- Institutional demand
7/n
#Bitcoin currently issues 900 #BTC per day - an annual issuance ~ 1.7%. The next two "halvenings" will reduce Bitcoin issuance to about 0.8% in 2024 and 0.4% in 2028. Bitcoin issuance will not come close to #ETH issuance again until 2028.
When "The Triple Halvening" is combined with the BASEFEE combustion mechanism of EIP-1559 (operational as of August 2021), it is very likely that Ethereum will become deflationary👀👀👀
9/n
With PoS, the network is no longer validated by hardware, but by long-term holders. These validators have minimal costs! and thus are not forced to sell #ETH. This is what currently happend with #Bitcoin
Fiat currencies are a phase-out model and financial repression destroys much wealth. The latest inflation numbers shake up the bond markets. #Fed 2022 hawkishness hit another ATH after Employment Cost Index (ECI).
2/ To understand the current stage of crypto development, we can use an analogy and compare the number of cryptousers with that of the Internet. We are in the year 2000 of the Internet👀👀👀
3/ There are a lot of indicators for trading.But the main thing is that more and more people are using crypto (demand/wallets⬆️), although after 3rd halving hardly any #BTC are being mined (supply).
This leads to scarcity and stronger demand than supply.Thus,#Bitcoin price rise!
