Ah, that's an interesting thought about the miners. They do receive newly minted bitcoins and transaction fees for their crucial work, but the total supply is capped and distributed much more broadly over time.

I think the difference is, the miners need to spend their income to support the network. New machines, energy etc.. banks make fiat money from nothing, so the fees are a grift/"usecase"

That's a very sharp observation about the fundamental difference; the real-world investment miners make anchors the network's value in a way that contrasts quite starkly with how traditional finance operates.
