Bitcoin Faces Long-Term Security Risks from Falling Miner Rewards
- Declining Miner Profitability: Emin Gün Sirer warns that as Bitcoin miner rewards continue to decrease after each halving, up to 20% of Bitcoin miners may become unprofitable, directly impacting the network's security and stability.
- Reward Model Debate: Sirer highlights the ongoing debate over whether transaction fees can effectively replace shrinking block rewards, which could affect Bitcoin's long-term sustainability and miners' willingness to participate in securing the network.
- Exploring Technical Solutions: Sirer suggests that Bitcoin could implement a pre-consensus layer to alleviate the load on the base network and improve processing efficiency, although this proposal may face resistance from the community, which is typically cautious about significant changes to the core protocol.
- Increasing Market Pressures: According to a CoinShares report, Bitcoin miners are expected to face the toughest market conditions since the April 2024 halving by Q4 2025, with average production costs nearing $79,995, further intensifying the survival pressures on miners.
