Ethereum Class (ETC) is getting all the ETH miners to switch over sooner than expected!

I told you all in the last thread that ethereum miners would HAVE to move to ETC mining quickly. Many of you brainlets said it would be a 2 year transition (though even ethereum foundation said 1 year) NOW they are looking to push to PoS as FAST AS POSSIBLE. which is what I fucking told you.

this right here. pow creates downward pressure on prices due to miners selling. if demand is high enough, it will absorb the sell pressure (btc, eth). else it will tank the price until it's not profitable to mine anymore and miners move away to another network or turn off their gpus/asics/fpgas.

distributed ledgers are more robust if there are many copies and many miners/validators. protocol inefficiencies are multiplied by the number of nodes. to keep transaction costs at a minimum and transaction speeds high, a distributed ledger should aim for the most efficient protocols that are practical.

hashcash was literally made to be inefficient, as a stop-gap measure for email spam. why anyone thought it would be a good basis for distributed ledger technology is beyond me.

With inflation your percentage share of the total supply is always shrinking. This is how it works with holding ETH and holding BTC

Let me explain this to all you poor retards

1. Miners have expensive equipment
2. Miners have tons of capital
3. Miners can’t liquidate ETH mining equipment if there is no market for ETH mining
4a. The Solution Part 1: switch to Ethereum Classic which uses the same form of algorithm.
4b. The Solution Part 2: use capital mentioned in point 2 to purchase up and bolster the price of ETC simultaneously mining new ETC.
4c. The Solution Part 3: tout the added security in hash power of ETC and begin fostering the ecosystem
5. ETC huge value spike, great expansion of ecosystem and eth mining equipment happily continues in use

To the autists saying PoW drives price down. Halving events almost always drive price up for the same reason the solution above works. The supply producers (miners) bolster the price and set market rate such that it is profitable to them. They can do it, have done it countless times and will do it again

try to argue why you think a limited supply has value, and you should realise the futility of your current stance, provided you explore the question earnestly
i.e.: bitcoin, which you mostly hold, will not have attained a fixed supply before the next century. that limit could be changed within a moment in a majority fork. will the social contract hold for that long?
remember just 11 years ago, the whitepaper described bitcoin as "peer-to-peer electronic cash". now the current accepted definition is "store of value", with a lot of handwaving when pressed on this point to argue there are still some p2p transactions happening directly on the bitcoin network
now once you understand bitcoin has in fact an emission rate until 2100 and beyond, the question becomes what is that emission rate and what is ethereum's emission rate in comparison. if you solely base value on emission rate, then you can make a meaningful comparison there
mind you, the idea scarcity = value is inherently flawed. the scarcity of something WITH value makes that value higher, but scarcity in itself doesn't make something valuable

there is literally nothing wrong with a "limitless supply." That alone is not determines how usable a currency is. A bit of inflation gives an economy a driving force vs people who just buy and sit on something.

The reason inflation is BAD is when the rules for when inflation can take place are arbitrary and that's how we end up with fiat. US government can BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR all they want. it doesn't go to people who invest in producing said currency like gold, it just goes to rich jews, military operations, and nogs. That's why bitcoin is great. The money goes to those who guarantee the network and the free market figures out the rest. Don't listen to retards who think inflation is evil.
