I learnt that the ethereum fork will bring about reduction in reward per block for miners from 3ETH to 2ETH thereby causing Ethereum to be scarce.
My question is will the scarcity bring about signifant increase in price?
There's no fundamental reason for ETH to pump during the time of the fork as the fork itself has been announced for a while.
Your best bet is a combination of:
1. Manufactured hype to pump the price
2. People actually reading up on ETH 2.0 and the upcoming updates
But by the looks of it, the pump never happened
