It is the long term economic model of a blockchain secured by fees that the ecosystem needs to observe and learn about, sooner rather later.

Yup, and I can't imagine a better time to do it than with 25 BTC reward blocks.

... not so much the rewards regime but such that it is before businesses get entrenched with feeless business models ... who would be screaming and shilling at much higher noise level than you witness today. Sorry to say but it seems quite a lot of VCs have blown investments building on a prototype protocol not the production version, which has always been in the planning and on the drawing board so it is their own failure.

Ten years from now, will the average fee paid for a typical bitcoin transaction be "greater than," "less than," or "equal to" the average fee paid today?

A. measured in BTC
B. measured in $
