Memo 0x88f82cc2…56d528 on Ethereum

Let's think this through to its logical conclusion.... The year is 2140 and the last BTC halving has just happened. The block reward is now 0 and the final miner has converted their BTC to WBTC on the ETH blockchain. Without a block reward, Bitcoin miners only have transaction fees to rely on. But since there are no more transactions, there are no more fees, and no incentives for miners to keep validating blocks. The Bitcoin blockchain is now a dying wasteland. The last bastion of survival for its tokens are now on another Planet -- Ethereum. True to the sacred accords of EIP1559, transaction fees are still paid in ETH. Each time a WBTC transfer happens, a small portion of it is converted to ETH to pay for the transaction fee. The relentless march of slow and steady WTBC<> ETH conversion continues.... The year is now 2240, and there is only a single satoshi of WBTC left. It has become a curiosity, to be sold in an auction held outside the steps at the Temple of Vitalik. Its buyer then ceremonially burns it - sending it to the genesis address, from which all tokens were spawned. Checkmate Maximalists. (Anonymous Message Via @SauronScan)
