Notice how people frequenty bring up the fact that if you divide the total
block reward by the number of transactions, the cost per transaction is fai=
rly
high - on the order of tens of dollars.
This makes much more sense when you realize that the average value moved per
transaction is also very high - thousands of dollars - making the cost due =
to
inflation of those tens of dollars transactions low enough to be affordable.
