EIP-1559 is scheduled to go dwell this week and I nonetheless see quite a lot of improper takes on its influence. Bear in mind:
– It does not make $ETH deflationary by default.
– It does not cut back $ETH provide by 90%, referred as “triple halving”.
– It is nonetheless very bullish for $ETH.Why?

“What everybody is happy about is $ETH burn,” korpi stated within the tweet thread after discussing a variety of different factors relating to the Ethereum improve. Korpi added:
“After EIP-1559 a part of the transaction price is burned and faraway from circulation. However it does not imply that ETH instantly turns into a deflationary asset. For that to occur ETH burned should be greater than ETH issued in block rewards.”
