#35: Jerome de Tychey | EIP-8363, the 50% staking line, and Ethereum's issuance fight

Today’s guest is Jérôme de Tychey, president of Ethereum France, founder of EthCC, and a co-author of EIP-8363. He makes the case that Ethereum’s issuance curve has no equilibrium, concedes that the proposal’s original solo staker claim was a mistake his own team had to walk back, and puts community feedback at roughly 60 percent negative. We get into what actually breaks above a 50 percent staking ratio, the 15 hours he spent trying to convince SharpLink, and what he would still change about the proposal.
