Let me propose a little game of fiction...
Let's say it's the year 2030, the crypto society has experienced a few bullish and bearish cycles and in each of them thousands of projects and tokens have emerged and disappeared.
Even more, let's say that the only blockchains that the crypto society has reached establish as supreme and unique are BITCOIN and ETHEREUM (although I hope that HIVE is obviously too) and that all the others have proven to be mere and crude copies of these two...
Now, let's say that you have $1,000,000 to invest in only one of the two blockchains, only one of them, it's not allow dividing 50% or in any other proportion...
Ah, I forgot to say, BITCOIN fundamentals will be the same as today's, with a few more implemented upgrades,if yoy want, but without major hardforks.
ETHEREUM will have finally managed to transition from the Proof of Work algorithm to the Proof of Stake with what its High Gas Fees problem seems to be almost solved...finally. The rest of the parameters will be the same...
In BITCOIN there will only be 21 Million tokens, the emission will continue to be according to the Halving event every 4 years approximately... in ETHEREUM, the MAXIMUM SUPPLY is infinite, as today, the control of Inflation will also be subject to the EIP (Ethereum Improvement Proposal)-1559 that burns part of the transaction fees but the supply keeps steadily increasing year after year.
I ask again, if you had to invest your money in one of the two, in which would you do it?
My option in this case would be clear... and it is not that I believe that scarcity is what makes BITCOIN different, but it seems to me a more important parameter than not knowing the Maximum Supply at all and being at the expense of what let others decide...
