the 130 btc daily fees keep rekt miners mining the chain
its retarded economics but here we are
Post by twetch#764
At 130BTC daily fees, that is still less than 15% of the 936BTC/day in subsidies they just lost. To recover the full 6.5BTC per block, transactions need to pay a fee of 650 Satoshis/byte on average, which for a 250 byte transaction is just over $16.00.

This assumes $10,000BTC which is the price at which everyone must slap themselves for several reasons at once.
But to give you an idea, any UTXOs worth less than around $7 become unusable at that rate, no matter how much batching or segwit you use...
The obvious difference between the two camps is that BTC is RELYING on people paying those fees to remain viable. If they don't, hashrate MUST fall by half OR the price must double. Either scenario means the network will face dramatic congestion.
