3.4 Economic Motives of Bitcoin Ecosystem Builders as Donors

Transaction Fee Income and Network Activity Correlation: Bitcoin ecosystem builders earn rewards by validating transactions and adding them to the blockchain. A more active and prosperous network means more transactions and the potential for increased transaction fees. Their total income increases with the volume of network activity.

Long-Term Investment Perspective: Bitcoin ecosystem builders may donate BTC to the GAST project with a long-term investment outlook. By supporting the GAST contract, they contribute to stabilizing network fees, attracting more users to transact, and directly increasing the potential income from GAST they hold.

Network Stability and Bitcoin Investment Returns: Stable network fees can reduce transaction costs for users, enhance network attractiveness, and increase transaction volume, creating a positive cycle for the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Bitcoin Holders' Contribution to the Ecosystem: As core participants of the network, Bitcoin ecosystem builders help maintain and enhance Bitcoin's ecosystem through donations, ensuring its long-term prosperity. This is an investment not only for current profits but also for future potential growth.
