Why is pic related always visually represented with a gold coin? It is nothing like gold. If the miners shut down, the coin is dead. Cant be used anymore. It relies on an outside counterparty to have value

If no one mines, it becomes insanely profitable to mine, so people will start mining again.

If people stop thinking gold is worth something it loses value

profitable in BTC. If no one is mining it, there is probably a damned good reason.

highest fee of 2019 was like $6.50, also you could just use litecoin instead

some electricity producers already mine bitcoin with their excess power. Especially hydro, meaning their running costs are near zero.

They will pretty much always mine since its free to do so

If they're dealing in amounts that small they should use litecoin or a more appropriate token

If they're dealing with huge pools of cash that barrier to entry can be useful.

It moves large sums of money quickly and cheaply, and it has the longest security track record.
Whatever that is worth is up to the market.
