Ether's Frozen Future

The discussion highlights the significant amount of ether currently locked in staking contracts, potentially reaching up to 50 million, which could represent 40% of the total supply. As ether becomes increasingly "cold" due to high APY from fees, the dynamics of liquidity shift dramatically, with EIP 1559 actively burning excess supply. This creates a fascinating model of ultrasound money, where the flow of new ether is minimal compared to what is being locked away.
