miners have been more profitable after the fourth halving. On 20th April, BTC hit record fees of over $80 million, outpacing its previous all-time high in 2017, according to IntoTheBlock’s Head of Research,Source: X/Lucas OutumuroReferencing BTC’s higher-than-normal $128 average fees, a pseudonymous crypto analyst claimed that the Bitcoin network now has more demand for block space than Ethereum.
“The average fee to send value on Ethereum network is about $0.50 right now . On Bitcoin network it’s $20. That’s a 40x difference in demand for BTC blockspace. Huge alpha there.” It’s worth noting that the spike in BTC fees also coincided with the launch of Runes Protocol, a new Bitcoin fungible token standard.“BTC’s fees are still $20 because LN is garbage, and there are no other alternatives.”Source: X/Adriano Feria
Nevertheless, other analysts and execs expect Bitcoin to record more fees as Runes Protocol gains more traction and BTC L2s heat up.“24 hours after the halving, inflationary rewards have dropped by 50%, but transaction fees spiked 1,200% due to Runes. Miners made a record $100M+ in revenue on 4/20.”“Remember when we told you that Bitcoin fees will do a 500x? Yeah, we’ve been working on Bitcoin L2s for a reason. Happy halving, everyone! Next stop, Nakamoto.
