Could transaction fees alone keep Bitcoin's network secure long term
Bitcoin's $1.3 trillion security model faces a fundamental threat that could unravel by 2140 when block rewards drop to zero. The entire security budget must then come from transaction fees alone—creating both massive risks and opportunities for the network's future. While this transition gives Bitcoin over 100 years to adapt, the market is already pricing in this uncertainty today. Smart traders who understand these long-term dynamics are positioning themselves to profit from the volatility this creates.
