Ok, So I’ve spent the last few hours watching and reading about sharding, the beacon chain, docking, and all that good stuff about what makes eth2.0 a big deal. Cool, I get it and I’m super on board, more thoroughput on layer 1 is a good thing.

What I don’t really understand is the economics behind it and what makes this a good thing for those who aren’t validators? Like, I have some eth, not nearly enough to run a node, but what about eth2.0 makes the coin worth more or less?

Since mining is gone, does eth all of a sudden become deflationary like BTC? is there a hard cap on the amount of coins?
