Opensea burnt $1B ETH
As we know that miners get an amount (in ETH) paid for every transaction they approve which makes Ether potentially Ultrasound Money. In most layman terms burning ETH means the amount of money paid in a transaction to the Layer 1s. OpenSea being the widely accepted NFT marketplace burnt $1B in ETH which clearly states that Layer 2s are not parasitic to Layer 1s (This is a common negative notion about the L2s among people who don't understand the domain clearly )

Bound Historical Data in Execution Clients
As the process of Testing the Merge has started with Ropsten Testnet moving towards Merge transition Péter Szilágyi ,Team lead Ethereum has reminded clients post-merge, Ethereum execution clients will not guarantee the availability of all the chain history indefinitely.
This is your periodic reminder that post-merge, #Ethereum execution clients will not guarantee the availability of all the chain history indefinitely.

Practically, nothing will change in the short term, but consider the invariant broken long term.https://t.co/yYv3j1XvG6
