department headI bet she was wink <| sep |> LITERALLY AN ANGRY TOUCAN <| sep |> you too ! Happy Thanksgiving ! <| sep |> a solid 34 <| sep |> I wish the NFL had a constant birds eye view camera we could use if you ' re an NFL subscriber . Would give you a ton of extra insight to routes down the field etc . <| sep |> Really simply . Miners will turn off rigs that cost more to run than the marginal bitcoin they ' re getting from running it . This drops the difficulty . The other effect is where the price of bitcoin rises . This is needed regardless of fees or block reward . If the price of bitcoin was 1 $, the mining difficulty would be at least 100 times lower . If fees accounted for 20 % of the reward then difficulty would be slightly higher . Essentially this is the efficient market hypothesis in action . People will mine if there is money to be made .
