# Assessment 9 #### Let's apply what you have learned so far to a specific scenario. Choose the most correct response (choose ALL that apply). * [x] The block subsidy will decrease over time, and I will need to rely more on transaction fees for my income. * [x] I should focus on maintaining honest behavior to ensure the integrity of the network and my long-term profitability. * [ ] The block subsidy will remain constant, so I can expect the same rewards indefinitely. * [ ] I can attack the system to gain more coins, as it will not affect my financial interests. **Notes to Learners** As a miner, it's important to understand that the block subsidy is designed to diminish over time as the total supply of Bitcoin approaches its cap of 21 million coins. This means that while you will initially receive rewards for adding blocks, you will eventually need to rely more on transaction fees as your primary source of income. Additionally, acting honestly is crucial, as dishonest behavior could undermine the network's integrity and ultimately harm your financial interests. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
