Could you please elaborate on the topic of who ultimately receives the Bitcoin (BTC) fees? Are these fees distributed to miners who verify transactions on the blockchain? Or do they go to a centralized authority or third-party service? Additionally, is there a specific formula or mechanism in place for determining how these fees are allocated among miners? It would be insightful to understand the economics behind BTC fees and the role they play in maintaining the security and decentralization of the Bitcoin network.
