Cyber Capital's founder recently proposed an interesting viewpoint: Bitcoin may face risks within 7 to 11 years.
His core logic is as follows— as block rewards continue to decay, miners' incentives will gradually diminish. Can transaction fees stay at high levels to make up for this gap? This is a big question mark. If fees can't keep up, Bitcoin's "security budget" will come under real pressure.
This viewpoint touches on a key pain point in Bitcoin's long-term economic model: how to maintain sufficient mining investment and network security in an environment of decreasing rewards? Whether the transaction fee mechanism can play a leading role is still uncertain. This is indeed worth considering for understanding Bitcoin's long-term operational logic.

Oh no, here comes the old familiar question again... Honestly, can the fee model hold up? I'm a bit skeptical.

Forget it, the fees are just not enough to cover costs. The miners should have run away long ago.

Honestly, this is a false proposition... 7 to 11 years? Wake up, the mempool has been battling for a long time, and gas wars will never stop.
