so 2025 = $140k(2x)-$210k(3x) rational expectation
so 2029 = $280k(2x)-$630k(3x) rational expectation
so 2033 = $560k(2x)-$1.89m(3x) rational expectation
so 2037 = $1.2m(2x)-$5.67m(3x) rational expectation
Let's not forget the ratio of Bitcoin to other economies. $630k means a market capacity of about 10 trillion dollars, and then the effect of halving will be much less, but miners will depend on transaction fees.
0.828125 Bitcoin for a transaction fee that may be about 1.5 Bitcoin per block, which means that the 4-year pattern will be broken soon and we will not rise by more than $560k(2x)-$1.89m(3x).
market caps are a MEANINGLESS number.. they dont represent real dollars stashed somewhere.. so relax
as for the tx fee's ratio to block rewards
yes that does effect the economics.. but.. heres the rub. not the maxims of ATH as much as the minimums of the post ATH corrections (NTL) new time low
we already seen how the 2022 NTL(new time low) didnt stop at $20k like previous patterns of not going below the ATH of 5 years prior
which is from my view, explained by the rationale of fee's starting to give bonus to rewards to affect underlying costs vs gains of the lows
so yes the next ATH and then correction may see the 2026 NTL(new time low) not stop at $70k but go under $70k due to fee bonus
the reward:fee ratio will eventually affect the ATH's but we are already seeing the affects on the NTL's
that said though, other things will affect the ATH and NTL's too
such as:
if there is not a sudden awakening of core devs to start to be BITCOIN devs again instead of features to fix subnetwork crap devs
if there is not a push to actually change fee bumps and decludge blocks and do things to spam. and allow more tx per block and cheaper per tx
whilst allowing more tx to nice bonus total block tx fee
meaning
if transactions per block stay ~4000, where by a fee works out as over $100 in uncongested times as minimums... even people wanting to lock value into shoddy subnetworks/CEX/custodians for a year would end up needing to pay 2x tx for lock in-unlocks=$over 200 a year just to use subnetworks/CEX/custodians.. which is something that even tradfi shy away from demanding of customers..
(would you use a bank/paypal/venmo if they charged $200 a year)
so if fee's and tx flows of BITCOIN are not sorted in coming years. then the fee games of incentivising mining pools will get affected
