- why Taylor, as the CEO of a wallet provider, is wary of EIP 1559
- how EIP 1559 will affect Ethereum’s block size
- what changes wallet providers are considering due to EIP 1559
- whether ‘Black Swan’ events will be more or less likely after the network upgrade
- how EIP 1559 will affect miners
- whether Tim or Taylor believes that miners could fork Ethereum to stop EIP 1559
- how EIP 1559 will change the state of miner extractable value (MEV)
