What Jamie wrote
Bitcoin intentionally drops miner rewards over time. The math is sensible. In the early days miners should be compensated through direct mining activity, but over time Bitcoin should transition to fees paid for transactions. That transition is still in front of the Bitcoin ecosystem and given that Bitcoin has landed more as digital gold than cash, the transaction fees may be hard to get profitable?
