“What everyone is excited about is $ETH burn,” korpi mentioned in the tweet thread after discussing quite a lot of different factors concerning the Ethereum improve. Korpi added:
“After EIP-1559, part of the transaction fee is burned and removed from circulation. But it doesn’t mean that ETH immediately becomes a deflationary asset. For that to happen, ETH burned must be higher than ETH issued in block rewards.”
