Miner revenue = block subsidy + fees × BTC price. Efficiency gains help, but not enough to counter halvings forever. Hashrate will not “always” grow. &#xA;&#xA;&gt; “Security scales with market cap automatically” &#xA;&#xA;is not guaranteed &#xA;&#xA;What really happens if price does NOT rise after a halving? &#xA;&#xA;1. Subsidy halves from 6.25 → 3.125 BTC; &#xA;2. Efficiency improvements add maybe +20% over 4 years; &#xA;3. Miner revenue still falls roughly ~45%.&#xA;&#xA;That means hashrate must drop, difficulty drops, and attack cost drops.</html></oembed>
