As a keen observer of the cryptocurrency landscape, I'm curious to delve deeper into the mechanics of Bitcoin. Specifically, I'm wondering: What are Bitcoin block rewards? Are they the incentives that miners receive for validating and adding new blocks to the blockchain? How do these rewards work in terms of their value and frequency? Do they remain static or do they undergo changes over time? Furthermore, are there any limitations on how many bitcoins can be awarded as block rewards? I'm eager to understand the role these rewards play in maintaining the security and stability of the Bitcoin network.

Over time, as the Bitcoin network matures and mining difficulty increases, the block subsidy gradually decreases, while transaction fees are expected to become a more significant source of income for miners.

These rewards consist of the block subsidy, which is a fixed amount of newly minted Bitcoins, and transaction fees, which are paid by users to prioritize their transactions.

Visualizing these block rewards in both BTC and USD allows us to understand how the value of mining rewards has changed over time, as well as how the relative importance of the block subsidy and transaction fees has shifted.
