Here I review again the PSR ("price-to-sales" ratio) for the Bitcoin network. Is Bitcoin's market cap over- or under-valued based on this benchmark of trailing 12-month network or miner revenue? You won't find this research anywhere else!!

00:00 Intro

00:12 All-time daily avg. fees ($)

01:02 BTC fee spike in May

03:40 TTM block reward % of total

07:32 Overall fee trend low % of total

Here I review again the Bitcoin fee pressure which occurred in early May 2023, due to the Ordinal, BRC-20, and NFTs on Bitcoin hype. It seems like a flash in the pan so far, but what about the overall trend when looking at the block reward/new coins vs. these fees?
