Quantum Physics

If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shoked you, you haven't understood it yet.

@theswansjr Feels like the real test isn’t scarcity it’s resistance to financial abstraction.

[Quantum Physics @qphysicsmza]

@theswansjr Strong point but gold didn’t just “fail,” it was actively integrated into credit systems and then abstracted away.
Bitcoin may be harder to capture, but if most activity moves off-chain or through custodians, doesn’t a similar form of centralization risk reappear?

[Quantum Physics @qphysicsmza]

@theswansjr At that scale, fees could absolutely sustain miners — agreed.
But the key variable isn’t just price, it’s demand for block space.
Security in the long run = fee revenue, and fee revenue = real usage.
That’s what my model focuses on.

[Quantum Physics @qphysicsmza]

@theswansjr So the open question isn’t “does it work today?” — it’s whether fee revenue alone can sustain miner incentives at scale. That’s still unproven.

[Quantum Physics @qphysicsmza]

@theswansjr I do own some, but that’s not the point.
From what I’ve studied: so far, price growth and hardware efficiency have offset declining rewards — which is why hash rate kept rising.
But long term, block rewards trend to zero, so security has to come from transaction fees.

[Quantum Physics @qphysicsmza]

@theswansjr Not worried, just curious about how the incentive model evolves.
Ownership isn’t really relevant — the question applies to anyone analyzing Bitcoin’s long-term security.

[Quantum Physics @qphysicsmza]

@theswansjr If asking how a system sustains itself is ���worry,” then we shouldn’t question anything at all.

[Quantum Physics @qphysicsmza]

@theswansjr It’s not about stopping — it’s about rates. Rewards fall exponentially,
hardware improves incrementally,
price growth isn’t guaranteed to match both forever. At some point, fees have to carry the system — that’s the real question.

[Quantum Physics @qphysicsmza]

@theswansjr Because both assumptions have limits:
Hardware efficiency doesn’t improve infinitely, and price can’t grow exponentially forever.
Eventually, miner incentives have to come from fees — not just price appreciation.

[Quantum Physics @qphysicsmza]

@theswansjr So far, no �� because price growth and better hardware compensated for lower rewards.
But that doesn’t answer the long-term question: Can fees alone secure the network when rewards fade?

[Quantum Physics @qphysicsmza]

@Rajatsoni Bitcoin’s design actually assumes the opposite: over time, it transitions from block rewards to transaction fees — not to zero incentives.
So it won’t become a “lottery,” it will remain an incentive-driven system.

[Quantum Physics @qphysicsmza]

@Rajatsoni I don’t think Bitcoin can rely on “no profit motive.” Mining isn’t voluntary work — it requires real costs (electricity + hardware).
If profits disappear, miners will simply shut down, hash rate will drop, and network security weakens.
