Indeed. So if transaction fees rise higher and higher, what do you think users will do? Miners are as dependent on users as users are on miners, remember. And HODLers are dependent on both. Without miners, Bitcoin is dead. Equally, without transactions, Bitcoin is dead.

Idk, specific context dependent obviously. Miners will probably increase the blocksize or innovate alternatively to sustain their model. Majority of Altcoin economics are results of side projects by btc whales who are bored/hungry. 2x/SW/BCH/Lightning is not the end of scaling
