Learn about the "EIP 1559" proposal to reduce the overall supply of Ethereum, and how will it affect?
It's like a company that makes a profit and buys back shares.
Burning billions of dollars in Ethereum could raise the price of the ETH digital currency.
The net effect is to increase the value of the remaining shares because the supply has become smaller.
I am very optimistic.
The EIP-1559 update will make fees less volatile:
One of the most exciting features of EIP1559 is the BASEFEE opcode

It will allow smart contracts to estimate congestion (by comparing historical basefee behavior) and programmatically adjust parameters such as dispute periods in optimistic rollupshttps://t.co/fLBUmUQKeY
I think this is one of the most important proposals for the long-term health of Ethereum, but it will be on par with the move to proof of stakes.
Why has the “EIP-1559” proposal not been implemented yet?
There is still one pending cybersecurity risk issue with EIP-1559 that needs to be addressed.
After fixing that and getting approved, it should be included in the next Ethereum split, which will be later this year maybe next summer.

The proposal faces stiff resistance from the metal Ethereum, as Ogilvy said:
The miners are naturally resistant as this would result in a portion of the fee revenue being transferred from the miners to the Ethereum holders.
Many remain excited about the upcoming EIP-1559 implementation.
Tell "Wall":
This excitement alone will increase the price.
