The Difficulty Adjustment is what keeps the supply of #Bitcoin from growing too quickly, even when thereโ€™s an increase in the number of miners. With commodities like gold, a higher price means more miners, which means more supply, which leads to the price going back down.

Yes, you read that right.

Transaction fees make it so the miners will ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜บ๐˜ด get compensated for keeping the ledger secure, even when the subsidy of new sats runs out.
