In this video, I discuss Justin Bons' critique of Bitcoin's long-term security.

Not only does Justin have a poor track record when it comes to predicting crypto trends, his hedge fund has massively underperformed BTC since its April 2016 inception.

The crux of Justin's argument is that Bitcoin transaction fee revenue will not be enough to compensate miners, after a few more halvings of the Bitcoin block subsidy.

This argument assumes its conclusion, and also assumes that a robust transaction fee market will not form for the most well-known and soundest money on earth.

It also assumes that the Bitcoin community will sit idly by and let Bitcoin die.

Bitcoin block space is limited. If demand for that block space goes up a lot, why couldn't transaction fees go up a lot too?

Does Justin really believe that no one would pay $100s in fees to get final settlement for a $5 million or $50 million or $5 billion transaction?

What does it cost to send $5 billion worth of gold from Tokyo to Paris? Like physical gold, Bitcoin is a bearer asset with no counter-party risk.

Bitcoin won't fail because transaction fees get "too high." Bitcoin will fail if people stop finding it useful. Then they will stop paying fees, not because they don't like high fees-- but because they don't like using Bitcoin anymore.
