It doesn't matter if they put a cap on the supply with Eth 2.0. Eth already lost immutability. That means later on they can remove the supply cap when they feel like.
At this point, whether it has a limited supply or not... who cares really?
What you mean by immutability?
Investors care cause investing a few $hundred for 1 Eth that has a unlimited supply is super risky

Why do miners do Proof of Work for something that has a unlimited supply
Supply is always finite. ETH supply right now is 112.571.104 ETH Bitcoin supply is 18.486.950 BTC . Monero supply is 17.695.243 XMR . Those are all finite numbers. In normal cryptocurrenices as Monero and Bitcoin you can also exactly tell how much coins there will be exact day in the future. In 2040 both will have same number of coin 20.9 million. In year 2150 Bitcoin will have 21 million coins and Monero will have 46 million coins. Still both finite number and much less then Etehreum today or then.
Yeah but is capped by the final deadline.
Beyond year 2150 and even into year 3000 and 4000 there will still be a continuous supply of Eth and digital assets does not degrade/rust over time like gold.
What's the latest with Eth 2.0 now, has the released date bought more closer because of the Elon energy wasting POW FUD?
Just to confirm the energy usage in Eth 2.0 POS will be much lower?
Isn't burning tokens a waste of energy, I mean all that energy is spent mining the token then just burning it
![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)
What's this 1559 update and will this bring down gas fees until Eth 2.0 comes out?
With the recent Bitcoin energy wasting FUD by Elon, this validates the move to Eth 2.0 right? However if Eth 2.0 introduce token burning then isn't this energy wastage?
