Hooffman predicted that the next bull run will also be led by Ethereum, and we are seeing the first signs of it, on the eve of its migration to PoS.

However, this does not mean that gas fee rates will decrease immediately. This will largely depend on your community and how you will adapt to the new consensus system.
