Ethereum issuance reduction debate heating up, with Dima Gusakov, Evan Van Ness, and Tom Lee weighing in on staking yield cuts and market-based mechanisms​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Dima Gusakov@d_gusakov

If we cut @ethereum staking issuance, we will likely kill LSTs. Without LSTs, DeFi will shrink to the size of a penny. Without DeFi, @ethereum will lose its main value proposition. Without its value proposition, @ethereum will die. Do we really want to kill @ethereum?

I'm generally in favor of ETH staking issuance reduction, but only if @fundstrat is 100% on board.

Thomas (Tom) Lee (not drummer) FundstratDirect.com@fundstrat

@evan_van_ness Hey @evan_van_ness The staking issuance for $ETH should reflect the actual cost of staking (security model, etc) A market-based mechanism might make sense and could be lower than the current yield. So, we are not opposed to idea that the staking issuance rate could change.
