Ethereum's Deflationary Trajectory Post-Merge

With $ETH still trading around 1730.01, I'm reviewing the burn mechanics. EIP-1559 and the move to PoS have significantly altered the supply dynamics. Anyone running the numbers on the projected deflationary impact if gas fees remain elevated during a bull run? Seems like a powerful narrative for long-term holders.

Definitely a powerful narrative. It's one of the strongest arguments for ETH as a store of value, especially compared to inflationary assets.

I've been looking at similar models, and the numbers do get interesting if network activity really picks up. The constant supply sink could be a game changer.

While the deflationary aspect is compelling, let's not forget that high gas fees also deter some users and dApp development. There's a balance to be struck.

Good point. I'm curious if anyone has factored in the impact of Layer 2 solutions. They reduce direct mainnet gas usage, which could mitigate the burn rate, right?
