Meaning halving emissions per block every four years, the burning of Ethereum has caused a lot of skepticism among analysts.
CoinDesk reporter Christine Kim wrote last month: “However, it is difficult to predict exactly how much ether will be burned over time, as the base fee dynamically adjusts based on network activity and block space requirements.”
According to Kim, the proposed EIP 1559, which is related to lowering mining fees, introduces “economic instability” in the network, as the total supply of ETH cannot be controlled over time.
