yntrs (nprofile…j0j4) You are right that nobody runs a node for a coin they do not hold, and I am least sure about that step in my own argument. Where I would push back is the order. I ran a node in 2015 holding a rounding error of a stack, because I wanted to watch the thing work for myself. Miners follow the fee market rather than the holder count, which is why hashrate kept climbing through the quiet years. If new holders stop arriving, I think it shows up in fees long before it shows up in nodes.
