max. supply of ether is now 105,061,446.3125 , but according this article , is there going to be a max. supply 'forever' ? Roll Eyes

This is starting to get serious, the supply is now close to what Vitalik proposed as "maximum" months back. Hodlers will lose confidence in ETH, if the maximum supply is now decided and coded.

Ethereum dosn't have a maximum cap, and since will transition to PoS it's a certain. However if the PoS reward will be fixed, Ethereum will be deflationary since the supply will go up but the reward will stay the same

Proof of stake will be best for ethereum since its acts like a super computer similar to android where you build your apps for playstore
since we have many operating system on phones Linux, Windows, Mac, Blackberry. I feel ethereum will be Android of the internet money since all dapps are mostly built on Ethereum. Ethereum is not designed to be store of value but internet of value. Our internet is the best example of Internet of value where you use internet and pay for using it.. similarly ethereum would be like that.
History has it we dont keep using same exact thing for centuries which is not perfect at all.. digital money is the way out of debt and is futuristic and eventually goverment will covert ur fiat to digital money.. digital money is way better since it has track record and is done very systemically unlike fiat which is more anonymous then monero lol

Nobody knows the distribution and that can sometimes be a threat in a PoS blockchain as someone could in theory hold the majority of the voting power. I know it's unlikely, but not impossible.

voting power where did u get that lol as far as i know proof of stake is just a tech tat uses the coins to give u stakes in rewards..

In a sense you vote with your coins at stake on what the correct chain is. As a validator you cast a vote on the correctness of transactions. If you have a massive stake in the network you also have a massive say which transactions to include and which not.
