Agree. That built in mechanism you reference is father to the strange loops pervasive in this model.https://twitter.com/FluidFluxation/status/996310464945672192?s=19 …

If Bitcoin really does trade like a commodity as Satoshi said, the price adjustment mechanism can't be sustainable long-term unless users are prepared to pay miners what amounts to a subsidy to keep them producing. Farm-gate price support in the crypto world. Who'd have thought.

Token emission is a protocol to facilitate more ideal bootstrapping incentives to be organically hyper-competitive game/information theoretically. Since day 0 the network has been built to incentivize fee markets. See image 2. Source: Original Whitepaper.pic.twitter.com/BNpRuVGSqM

The idea that bitcoin users rent hashpower from miners is a collective delusion. Miners are the PoW Miners are the backbone of bitcoin, and the battery powering the metronome(protocols) the user symphony syncs upon.

I know that. Pointed it out yesterday. Without miners, Bitcoin is dead. That's why the difficulty adjustment is essential - it's effectively a subsidy to miners to keep them mining. But it's not sustainable imho.

I can see that frame of reference re: DA a subsidy. Again reference the importance of bootstrapping in an immaculate conception paradigm. Regardless, if we agree on fee markets, how is this DA unsustainable, if its effect effectively neglifies over time?

Bootstrapping is a one-off event. It is not required for all time. Indeed the 21m limit means it cannot continue for all time. Eventually, all that remains is a fee market, and at that point transaction costs must rise enough to keep miners honest.

Agree. Tho, fee market economics are in play before 21m emission. New trends/loops forming now. See mempool and fee market & volatility last 10 months. The bootstrapping will continue but fade, & organic market forces will continue to build atop the entropically favorable path

I don't think that path will be on another blockchain. No other PoW is near competitive, and PoS is a genius scam I wont engage here. No bets on core or what we currently call
$btc, but some branch of bitcoin will prevail.https://twitter.com/FluidFluxation/status/991126891389169664?s=20 …Will 🗣️ 🌐 added,

the real competition to Bitcoin is not in the cryptocurrency world.
