Vitalik Buterin says ETH should prioritize store of value over fee burns

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin argued that ETH should prioritize its store-of-value properties over fee burns, while still retaining EIP-1559 and its burn mechanism. The comment is a directional signal on how Ethereum's monetary policy might be framed going forward, though it does not change any protocol rules. Traders may read it as a subtle endorsement of ETH as a long-term value asset, but the practical market impact is limited.
