Ethereum is now burning over 1000 eth per day — it has been over 7,000 for the previous week. At this price, that is over 365,000 a yr, or $600,000,000 value of eth. This isn’t one thing the market will be capable to maintain for much longer, inflicting an unimaginable provide shock. Take into account that underneath proof of labor we might be producing 335,000 eth per MONTH, or 4,000,000 per yr, or $6.6B i.e. $6.6B of recent provide added underneath PoW, which is now eradicated.
So, why have not we seen the consequences but? The brief reply is the Ratio, which sits round 45% of bitcoin. Ehereum and Bitcoin have been related at this ratio since earlier than the merge, and the market thus far has been sticking to it. Because the inflation of bitcoin is excessive (at the moment $7.5B per yr), demand for ethereum will get lumped into demand for ether+bitcoin as a unit. There may be sufficient bitcoin to not simply fulfill the bitcoin demand, but in addition the purchase strain placed on ethereum too. (Since there are sufficient portfolios on the market that may auto-adjust their bitcoin / eth funding consistent with the 45% ratio).
As soon as the ratio decouples, put together yourselves — the shock will come quick and livid.
