That's also what I said. Block subsidy aside, miners are earning less BTC/sats than they used to. Even before 0.1 sat/vByte became the new standard, there was very little congestion on the Bitcoin blockchain despite BTC hitting new ATHs several times. On top of that, the block subsidy has been halved a couple of times already. However, those sats are worth more in USD or any other fiat terms. It would be interesting to see a comparison against gold.
I'm not making another graph against gold Tongue But you have a point, my "rough estimate" will probably change a lot if you account for inflation in this graph.

Btw, does this graph go all the way back to the beginnings of Bitcoin in 2009?[/quote]
Yes: vertical are dollars, horizontal are blocks. I would have added a label, but that would have taken a few more hours....
