Exact number of ETH will remain unknown
2 min readThe problem of determining the exact maximum number of ETH has become a major controversy. Everyone shows their own opinion on how a seemingly simple question should be colored. The founder of Ethereum Vitalik Buterin added, commenting that the exact number can only be determined roughly and not exactly as might be expected.
Vitalik Buterin: The total number of ETH can only be determined roughly
No one knows exactly how much cryptocurrency Ethereum can be extracted. Many compete over who comes up with more bizarre answers or better jokes. However, Vitalik Buterin is not prepared to take any answer to a seemingly simple question seriously. He thus gives space to the supporters of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, who create curious jokes about him and do not spare criticism of the token.
The developer Marc-André Dumas probably came up with the best estimate, but his idea was also dropped as inaccurate. He used a computer script to confirm or refute the result of Etherscan. A similar one came out, 112 429 827 ETH. That’s about five times more than Bitcoin.
However, VItalik Buterin called this result very inaccurate. At the same time, he checked the criticism, when he said that BTC supporters should look more at the fees of their network. The whole controversy thus acquires special volumes, when the second largest cryptocurrency is compared to the Ponzi scheme and the US dollar due to unclear circumstances.
