Don't you see so casual the " #Bitcoin Security Budget" is being pushed before a #halving, specially by those who seem to be financed and sponsored by other "Bitcoin and Crypto companies and exchanges"?
How interesting, you are preoccupied by basically the most secure and resilient network in the planet for transacting value? You are having debates over a network that doesn't need or care about you?
Most of you people don't even mine BTC and you are having these discussion like WTF you don't even think for yourselves, like cattle...
If for some reason the block rewards are not enough to pay to the miners and they have to stop operating, REJOICE! bc that means the hashrate is going to be more democratized, possibly it won't reach break-even for an antminer S1500+ PRO ULTRA MAX, but surely it will create the incentive for creating a bit less powerful but still capable devices that can be afforded by the barefoot mortal to mine in their homes and not in an industrial complex full of miner sounds 24/7, all tied to antpool for the "reawards bro"
Don't you think privacy on-chain by default, or even increasing decentralization by default is a greater problem? I mean Bitcoin was created with the purpose of making you free, private, and sovereign, not to make you rich...
I mean we could discuss the incentives for the miner fees, but in the end the biggest pools are going to keep getting bigger and probably create a real centralization problem for the network, bc maybe you haven't noticed but the two biggest pools in the network have more than 50% power over the network hashrate... And if you don't know what that means you shouldn't even have to be discussing fees for blocks that are going to be mined in 110 years.
You need to go back and study the security foundations of bitcoin instead of talking of the FUD spread by the influencer of the week farming engagement.
