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.
On the contrary ... i think, when there is a 'defined' max. supply, like on bitcoin, then it is more 'attractive'(especially) to hodlers ->
Adopting a maximum supply of ether coins would undoubtedly render Ethereum more attractive to investors.

Of course. If there is a fixed maximum supply, the investors do know when the coin will stop being dumped by the miners or stakers. In case of unlimited supply, there's no telling that when the dumping will stop!
We need hardcap supply and that should be the main point. To stop the dump from miners and give the more chance to the stakers to get their ethereum and that should become the best solution at this moment dude.

Maximum supply and investors have nothing to do with the 'style' of emission like staking or mining. Investors want a fixed number so that they may know that at what point ethereum will become scarce.
