WHEN THEY SAY“Fees will replace the subsidy.”
feescase card
feescase↳ lands: fees scene
The fee ceiling, checked. Past ~$3 a transaction users leave, so fees' usable best is ~0.04% of Bitcoin's value a year: 22× under today's ~0.82%. A higher price makes the shortfall bigger, not smaller.

WHEN THEY SAY“Price growth will cover it.”
bullcase card
bullcase↳ lands: bullcase scene
Grants the full Power-Law bull case, then checks what it buys. A higher price defends a bigger prize with a thinner budget: security's share still decays toward ~0.006%. Price growth and security are separate problems.

WHEN THEY SAY“bitcoin has been growing a LOT faster than 2x every 4 years.” Adam Back · Aug 2025
2x card
2xADAM BACK↳ lands: bullcase scene
His price claim against the tape: cycle tops, top to top, ~37× → ~17× → ~3.5× → ~1.8×. 2025 was the first top under the 2× the halving math needs. And the model grants his bull case anyway.

WHEN THEY SAY“2140 is a problem for another century.”
cliff 2140 card
cliff2140↳ lands: cliff2140 scene
The cliff is a design fact, not a forecast: the subsidy halves on a schedule written into Bitcoin's code since 2009 and ends at $0. Drag the year slider and pick your own definition of “premature.”

WHEN THEY SAY“Fine, but nothing can fill the gap.”
natflip card
natflip↳ lands: natflip scene
The constructive card: at 2140 the subsidy is zero and fees are thin. Drag $NAT's market cap and watch a market-funded second subsidy carry the budget. The one exit that grows with adoption.

WHEN THEY SAY“There are already solutions for this.”
verdict card
verdict↳ lands: explorable root
The synthesis card: every proposed exit, checked on one panel. The subsidy decays by design, fees cap out 22× short, a higher price leaves the share unchanged. Three exits sealed; one scales.

WHEN THEY SAY“Adam Back already dismissed this.”
objections card
objectionsADAM BACKdestination page
He replied twelve times in August 2025. Every claim is on the page quoted verbatim, sourced, archived, and answered by a scene you can run. The strongest dismissal $NAT ever got, taken seriously.
