What will the price of ETH be if the limit of supply is 200 million ?

There has been a proposal to limit the amount of ETH supply but that is not really clear. So what do you think if it is limited to only provide 200 millions ?

I think that if ethereum is renewed and will continue to develop and grow.  That no limits will not hold back.  It is very popular among even the users of this forum.

Supply is not a large issue and for the nature of ETH as a utility token, supply of 200 million would be very less.
Hypothetically if ETH was limited to 200 million, it would have been a scarce token and people would use another utility token rather than Ethereum.

I don't think if your statement will be true since for me there is no news or announcement from the developer if the limit supply become 200 millions.

As stated in the whitepaper of the future plan that created by ethereum core developer if the total supply of ethereum will not more than 150 millions. Limited supply mean more price and that's basic theory on the crypto. Less inflation in ethereum market because miner get less and people will try to accumulate more and more ethereum.
But i never think ethereum core developer has proposed to put 200 millions as a hardcap supply.

Well if the supply would be double then what will happen next? Ofcourse the value of coin would be decrease and it will be depending on the demand of the coin if they can pursue the high value of each coin and it was depends on the people if they are going to invest on ethereum or not, but for now i read adoption of microsoft in ethereum I expect to have high price value.

I am not sure of the supply because all i know is that eth supply is not fixed still i think ethereum is poised to grow from here and by year end if the market cap keeps growing i expect eth to be trading between 1k to 2k range.

The law of supply and demand clearly tells that price will be lesser if the supply is that much.

But no one actually knows what will be the price of eth if it reaches 200 million of supply. I dont think that we will see that number of supply if the progress is already trying to deal with PoS.

Just the news alone will probably raise the prices, once it's set in stone that they will implement this cap.
Over the long term it's a bit more difficult to predict what will happen.

That really depends on what happens with Bitcoin, sionce the ETH price is still hugely dependent on what Bitcoin does.

I also think depends on what happen with bitcoin price, but if they will limit supply, i don't know, some coins which stop the PoW algorithm and reduce the supply every year drop a lot on price, and also this can happen to Ethereum.

How much demand will be there for ethereum will decide its price at any condition but it is not going to be limited,ethereum is different so you can't compare it with bitcoin.

ETH has demands up to the sky which is why it will always go up. When you do a transaction, it always need ETH for Gas. When you send an ERC token to another wallet, you will need gas for it. And you can imagine how much people will be buying ETH because there are more than hundreds of ERC tokens created and almost everyday there are projects created on ETH. So if its going to have 200M limit, prices will definitely rise just like BTC with the limite of 21M.

the current 100+ million supply of ethereum is already huge and it doesn't have to be, any future limitations that may or may not even be placed is not going to change something that is already bloated. there simply isn't that much demand for a token like ETH specially since there are lots of other platforms some of which are so much better than ethereum and cheaper too. so the price should continue to decline over the long run with or without a limit after twice the current huge supply was reached!

that's only 1 of the many possibilities that exist. it is possible that with the total supply the price can be much better than this. My estimation is that if ethereum has a max supply, the price will definitely increase every month. ethereum can even reach above 1000$.

but if that happens isn't the cost of GAS going to be high. if that happens people will definitely look for a cheaper platform. I think ethereum should not have max supply because it can affect transaction fees.

Now Ethereum doesn't seem promising to me. It is very actively used and has a large capitalization. Therefore, you should not expect from him a large growth. Let's see what happens next.

If Gas Costs are expensive, people will move cheaper, but if the ETH supply has been limited to 200 million and Gas remains small, I think that will affect prices.

I agree with you. When the demand for price increases of ETH will increase. But I still want all COin to limit the quantity to ensure investors' benefits.
One day you wake up to see that its supply has increased to 10 billion tokens while developers of projects have switched to other platforms like Tron or EOS ... Wow ... don't know if it will be garbage

if such proposal were to be accepted initially we will see a pump but that won't last because limiting to 200 million is not going to change anything, ETH is still inflated and you can't solve that.

the law of supply and demand is not the law of supply alone. the demand is still lacking for ETH and is only declining as more ICOs die and lose their attractiveness.
and also limiting the supply is not the reason for a rise otherwise grains of sand would have been worth millions of dollars because there is a limited supply of sand on earth!

First of all, I don't think supply of ethereum will be limited by any how in the future. If you are scared of supply, fpr your info, there are 700 billion people in the world. So, it's not a matter, supply will be issue after more 10 or 20 years later, if eth exists, it will face a serious deflation at the end.

Despite its supposedly many flaws and limitations, I remain a big fan and user of Eth, of course along with Bitcoin which is my first love. There remains a good potential for Ethereum and if the people behind this cryptocurrency platform will do more interesting innovations and will push for more adoption by different industries, there is no reason why it will not be very valuable and truly the next-in-line to the King (which is Bitcoin). Bringing the supply up to 200 million can have consequences, of course as we know that in a free enterprise we are in supply and demand is the law that is always in motion. I am hoping that they think hard on this and they know the contingencies to lay down if in case this can push through.

I personal hope that ETH will be limited to 200million in supply, not knowing or having limited supply is one of the reasons ETH is degraded but let's see what happens next

Limited in supply is always good but for ETH I'm not sure as the smart contract use might grow very demanding in future even over billion pieces of ETH, I think its better if ETH has no limit

I don't think we anyone can determine the price of the coin when the supply has been capped at 200 million, though I believe that since the supply of the coin has been reduced, if there is lot of demand for the coin, then we might see the price of eth going very high, my best guess is $1000, though this cannot happen if there is no mass demand for the coin, so the team behind eth have to come up with something that will make people want to invest in eth again because a lot of investors have taken their eyes off the coin already.

Smart contract will help nothing anymore ETH to hit a better price since it's now available in more platform. However, ETH has its own usage, and one of the most active developer. I guess they will develop it more.

I don't know, I think there will be two possibilities. First, maybe the price can go up at any time. second, maybe the price will be worse than this.

if eth already has a supply limit, then sooner or later the cost of gas will rise. and if that happens, people will switch to other platforms. that means it's a loss for ethereum.

This is never going to happen, because the maximum circulation for ETH is fixed at around 100 million coins. In case this limit is increased, then the reputation of the currency will take a hit and no one will be ready to trust ETH. The reason is that, if the supply is increased once, what prevents the promoters from repeating this process again and again? In the end, the coins will become worthless.

Utility token as such of  Ethereum does not need to have a limited supply because it’s a widely used token as well as its smart contracts. With the present supply , the price is still cool ! It would grow more just need some time.

And the price of bitcoin is not inflated ??? I am always surprised that users of such rank consider that ETH is still a kind of bloated fake. Yes, I have little experience today. But I know one thing, he will continue to grow. Bitcoin also has enough competitors but for some reason it is a leader.

I think it is impossible to predict. This can definitely happen, but it is impossible to predict what will happen to the price.

If we continue with this logic, eth would should be $2 million when there was 100 eth. Anyway, as the number of coins increases, their circulation in the market also acts accordingly. They are always connected to each other.

Limiting won't work unless they stop developing the chain. It seriously needs some improvements. Also, many miners will stop working, if it has any limitations due to low rewards. Why? If ETh limits, then the reward must be decreased in order to keep the chain running validating transactions for a certain time, before finding a good solution.

yes you're right, if ethereum has a limit, he will make it rare. the impact will be to make transactions (GAS) more expensive. This is different from similar platforms, where they are competing to create platforms
cheap and fast. the possibility of ethereum being abandoned is huge, if this becomes a reality.

It depends on the market and the demand for ETH. If there will be many use cases on ETH platform the double supply will not automatically cause half price. And it will not happen at once so it won`t have big effect.

I'm not sure, but maybe the price will be a little better than at the moment. or maybe ethereum could be abandoned. but rather than having limits, I focused more on developing POS consensus. this will have an impact on prices without need, fearing ethereum will be abandoned.

I think that now it does not matter much. After the transition of Ethereum to PoS, the emission will be significantly reduced. I think that 200 million coins will not be namneno very soon, and this is not a problem now.

No one knows about that but definitely it will help Ethereum price to grow in time. At least the limited supply will be a fundamental thing that will lead people to invest more in Ethereum. It's about certainty of total supply.

of course the price will be very expensive and maybe even ethereum prices will be able to compete with bitcoin prices because as we know the market demand for ethereum is very high, this is because the ethereum platform is very popular so when the supply is limited to a small amount it will make the price very expensive

I don't know is it possible or not but I think Ethereum's supply will not be limited at 200 Million! But If it becomes then we can expect a very high price for the ethereum. Maybe the hard fork helped enough the Ethereum network, it's popularity increasing again, so overall ETH can go to 5K USD at least if the supply becomes limited!

There’s no such coin without limit, and if there’s no limit then the price will be more cheap just like fiat money.  ETH can’t reach the limit yet but its price will become more expensive as the demand for this one will go higher, the price is good again so it can be a new beginning of the pump.

I dont think unlimited supply is good for ethereum. If ethereum have unlimited supply, i am believe the price will not reach this far. Its better if ethereum supply limited on 200 million and i am believe the price will rising

Since most if these coins value are really being affected by the demand and supply of it, I think it is better to have limited supply for now that the adoption rate is still very low, if the supply is limited, as demand closes the gap, the price will continue to rise, because as supply of ethereum starts becoming very low, it will continue to make ethereum scarce to get and as it become scarce, value will surely increase.

This is one of the tactics that Binance has been using in appreciating their coins, that is why most times, they also buy token from clients and when they do, they burn the token to limit the supply.

There have been discussions amongst the community regarding limiting the total supply of Ether that can be produced, but nothing definitive has been determined yet, however, historically reducing an assets supply can increase interest from investors which may have a positive impact on the value should something like this occur

It looks like it is not good for the ethereum if the limit supply 200 million and the price of the ethereum also be affected in the market, for me the low in supply the highest for demand for many investors and would be the ethereum will more the highest value.

I am also not sure about the total ETH supply, there are those who say 100 million say 200 million, but no matter how much I think voin as good as ETH will have no problem with the total supply

I would appreciate if you share with us the proposal to where it was stated that the supply of Eth should be reduced or and source. There is nothing wrong with the supply of ethereum and there is no reason for reduction. Until I see your source, your statement is a mere rumor

Let say, bitcoin, which is the top priority is about 27 million, then it can achieve a 18k price, maybe if ETH can be limited of supply, it can sustain about 2k dollars which is not bad in comparison to its market price of 200dollars in the market. But still, it is a good thing as ETH has an unlimited supply but unlike BTC, its market price will not going to be sustained I'm pretty sure soon.
