On the demand side I would frame it differently. Blob space increased Ethereum's real estate. If anything, Dencun flushed out speculation based on some funny DCF type of thinking, which frankly doesn't work well for public blockchains anyway. Crypto's forward P/E ratios are completely retarded. Ethereum has all the fundamentals. Price is short term noise to me.
On the issuance curve I would agree with you. We can chose to maximize or minimize certain aspects of the system. Instead of artificially minimizing supply, we should focus on maximizing demand. There is only one supply mechanism. But there are dozens, if not hundreds of demand mechanisms, most of which we have probably not even discovered, less understood.
