Bitcoin can't be expected to have total fees above 1-3% p.a after subsidy ending, or better money will be chosen. This means more than 97% of resources will always go to other than hashing SHA256. Bitcoin can't boil the oceans.

BTC can have $10000 fees. nothing is stopping it. 🤔

Twetch ·

Furthermore, the value of money relates to the future economy (production, or asks). If production declines due to climate troubles, so does the SHA256 hashing.

Twetch ·

It can't sustain any fee level above a couple of percentage points. During short periods, fees can sky rocket though.

Twetch ·

why you think so?

Twetch ·

i guess 0.01 fee would be $10000 where we going

Twetch ·

The users of money suffers the total costs of that money.

10k fee would indicate >10% cost on using the money if replacing gold and fiat currencies. The market picks something else.

BTC is not for using

Banks will paý the 10k to do infrequent settlements between each other

Twetch ·

Well, they will if their clients are willing to pay that sum and get poor, which is a somewhat pessimistic view of the market.

Twetch ·

yep. perhaps one day people will see the flaws in btc and eth but for now number go up + banks for the transfer seems good enough for the world.

Twetch ·

you have some fundamental misunderstanding. Yes the banks will charge fees for custody and sending of the BTC they hold on behalf of their customers.

But I cant imagine it will be more than regular bank fees or broker fees

Twetch ·

Banks have to profit, and charge clients more than incurred settlement fees. 10k fee with 1M txs/day is almost 4T/year. That's way more expensive than fiat, so people won't use it.

Twetch ·

The other way. the bank will say do 10000 txs a day and then settle ONCE for whatever the btc fee is

Maybe at that point the system will be so interconnected even these infrequent settlements will be batched too

We talking endgame of BTC, 1m USD+ price

Oh boy Im gonna be rich af.
Thank you bitcoin.

Twetch ·

Have fun becoming rich!

0.01 fee is almost 4M/year. People are not going to use a 21M network costing them 4M annually lol
