A popular topic of conversation among Ethereum maximalists is the "triple halving": after the merger, ETH's annual inflation rate will drop from 4,3% to 0,43%, and new issuance will drop from 12 ETH per day to 000 ETH per day. Combined with EIP 1280, which introduced an Ethereum burn mechanism, the move to proof-of-stake will be the equivalent of three Bitcoin “halvings” at once, the argument goes.
