Hello everyone!
I was thinking about one thing, Satoshi once said:
"In a few decades when the reward gets too small, the transaction fee will become the main compensation for [mining] nodes. I’m sure that in 20 years there will either be very large transaction volume or no volume."
As far as I know, in Lightning Network transactions, miners are not paid. So, doesn't this thing affect Bitcoin Network? If miners don't get enough fees to have a decent profit, they will be likely to stop mining.
Can someone explain this situation?
You have to think also about what happened in the next 2140 because all bitcoin is mined, it is the same situation as your think (miners don't get enough fees to have a decent profit). so, I think you don't need to worry about this because both chains will work together in each way, the miner will keep mining in the main blockchain, and the lightning network will still be there also, and both will be chosen by user. we need to know when to use the lightning network we have to exchange it first from BTC main chain to LN, this is also a chance to get a decent profit.
