4. Miners are not rewarded for "provid[ing] validation services", since nodes perform this trivially and without any expectation of compensation. Their incentive to choose valid blocks is the forfeit of revenues should a PoW block be rejected by validators.

Feels like the season for a tax revolt. Not saying that anybody should *not* pay their taxes as that could land them in jail. Just saying it feels like the season.
CC "rewards" are a mirage. Issuers offer these programs to hook consumers, then pass the costs on to merchants in the form of higher interchange fees. Consumers learn to hunt for the highest rewards CCs, leaving businesses with little choice but to accept rewards card swipes that cost them substantially more than a non-rewards card.
Businesses naturally raise their prices to compensate for the additional margin being stolen by CC networks, but few adjust pricing based on payment method (cash vs CC). This results in a regressive wealth transfer from non-card (typically poorer) households to card-using (typically wealthier) households.
In return, rewards card holders get walled-garden points that require the bank's permission to use (aka shitcoins). This often destroys economic value by transforming the most salable good (cash) into a much less salable form (siloed points redeemable for gift cards, travel, etc), except in the case of cash-back rewards.
It's just fiat with a few extra steps. And this doesn't even touch on the matter of predatory 25%+ APRs.

My dad would make me clean these on the weekly, since I used his desktop more than he did.
Good dad, he even laughed at my snide jokes about mouse balls.
Cruising YouTube after a long workday and this is how I heard the news.
How you managed to weave such a well produced documentary into a drop like this is completely beyond me. Thank you, Julian 🙏
