The resurgence of Bitcoin’s price dominance could lead to increased investor confidence in Bitcoin as a leading cryptocurrency. This may attract more attention and investments to Bitcoin, potentially resulting in a positive impact on its price.
However, the impact on altcoins could be negative, as a shift towards Bitcoin dominance might lead to a reduction in the relative value of altcoins.
Additionally, Inscriptons could help BTC with positive momentum as well.
Miners see relief
Inscriptions began in early 2023, bringing overall advantages to Bitcoin. Miners now get a quarter of their revenue from fees.
Transactions with fees around 50 sat/vByte are quite common, showing that users are willing to pay a bit extra for faster processing. This highlights a positive trend for both miners and users on the Bitcoin network.
The growing prevalence of inscriptions in 2023 is likely to have several positive impacts on Bitcoin. Firstly, with miners earning a significant portion of their revenue from fees, it enhances the overall economic sustainability of the Bitcoin network.
