I don’t really get this almost apathetic stance.

Empty mempool + reducing subsidy equals a problem right?

I honestly think it’s short sighted to not think about this issue and just cast it into the future.

Not arguing that we can get to a decisive answer or that it will become a problem, but labeling discussions about it as fear mongering is not productive imo.

What’s counterproductive is worrying about a non-issue.

Is bitcoin still decentralized and secure? Yep, on with my day.

Is 40% of this hashrate produced by a handful of public US companies?

Is F2pool censoring OFAC tx’s?

Does the biggest two pools have +50% hashrate?

Is hash price at an all time low?

Yup, on with my day.

And yet it remains decentralized and secure…

I responded to your point that the mempool clearing is some sort of issue for bitcoin, which is it not.

Mining centralization is a different conversation, and not complete non-issue like the mempool clearing. So unless you want to support your claim that it is a real issue for bitcoin I don’t have anything else to add.

We’re all on the same team here, I’m just adding my two sats because it’s important to avoid the noise.
