What are some of the consequences of the move of the Byzantine capital to Constantinople?

There was no Byzantine state before the move of the capital to Constantinople (Byzantium = Constantinople), unless you mean 1261 when the city was recovered from its western conquerors. But I suspect you don't.
The transfer of 330 made the predominantly Greek-speaking east of the Roman Empire more central. The new location proved more defensible as Rome fell to invading armies in 410 and 455. While the Western Empire finally ended in 476, the Eastern held out (apart from the interlude of Latin rule from 1204) until 1453 when Constantinople finally fell to the Ottoman Turks.

The Roman Empire never actually fell but relocated it's capital to Byzantium and converted to Christianity at around the same time because of the emperor Constantine the Great. This move is often stated to have ended the Roman Empire in 476 AD but the peoples of Byzantium and those they ruled never stopped calling themselves Romans and never called their empire the Byzantine Empire as this was a fabrication by historians to separate the pagan Roman Empire from the Christian Roman Empire and to separate the Holy Roman Empire from the Roman Empire to prevent confusion.
