$ETH ultrasound narrative is dead! Or is it? As EF scales the L1 and $ETH pumps, the ultrasound narrative is coming back. What a surprise :) I'm not the first to write about it, but the market is yet to internalize the message. The logic goes like this: Gas limit (now ~36M) could hit 150M, boosting L1 scalability. Critics would say "oh that's bad, because lower fees burn less $ETH. Buy my alt-L1!" That's the old thinking. True that more txs per block = lower fees, but more activity could mean more ETH burned. Higher gas limit → more txs outweigh lower fees → potentially more burn. As @hanni_abu calculates, "at 36M and the deflationary threshold it 14.5 gwei. At a 300M gas limit the deflationary threshold becomes 1.74 gwei (14.5gwei*36M/300M)." He also adds that as gas prices drop, users are more willing to pay higher fees during congestion: E.g., at $0.01, a 100% premium to $0.02 feels more acceptable than jumping from $5 to $10. Lower prices make people less sensitive to congestion fees.

Im not such an expert, but as user… low fees is generally equal to more activity propension
