I have a vague idea of ETH merge, but not sure what this ultrasound money site is about. From Q&A: > Ultra sound money is an Ethereum meme focusing on the likely decrease of the ETH supply. > If capped-supply gold is sound, decreasing-supply ether is ultra sound. I have no idea what this last sentence means.

It's a meme. It literally says that in your quote... Capped supply assets are good because that combats inflation, so decreasing supply must be even better (=ultra), right? That's the meme.

"Sound" as in "stable" might be a bit that helps.

Maybe there is more to it but isn’t that just a wordplay wherein sound means both what music creates and a word signifying something making sense? Or so you mean something related to the supply?

  Yes, there is more to it. "Soundness" is a specific term in computer science regarding a program being unable to end up in a invalid state. Usually used in type systems to describe a type system that makes your program unable to be "wrong". The idea of "soundness" is based on this seminal paper: https://courses.engr.illinois.edu/cs421/sp2013/project/milner-polymorphism.pdf https://courses.engr.illinois.edu/cs421/sp2013/project/milne...

Bitcoiners often call BTC 'Sound Money' - ultrasound money is a play on that to highlight that Ethereum simply has better economics after the merge
