Thanks for this summary of the basics of mining (that most people here are familiar with). None of it presents a challenge to my two arguments:

1. BTC holders pay a fee of around 1.7% p.a. of their holdings (until the next halving) to miners (through an increase in money supply),

2. which amounts to around $60 per transaction currently. (Higher if BTCUSD rises or the number of transactions falls; lower if BTCUSD falls or the number of transaction increases, which it cannot much because BTC operates not too far from the limit.)

Ah, the old "you just don't understand crypto" chestnut...
