where the answer is the obvious: txn fees are part of the block reward.

this idea is also held by most Bitcoiners and i also think that the fees could then take a very large share of the miner rewards

My favorite is all stale addresses are considered abandoned in 2059 there will be untouched 50 year old addresses with no withdrawals ever made. Fold them back into rewards if no withdrawal is made in them.

how should the whole thing be technically executed, if there are Bitcoins on a BTC address that have not been moved for ~50 years?
a pk for this said address will not be found out in any case
this would also mean that the 1 million BTC that SN most likely holds would then in the worst case no longer belong to him ... or am i understanding this all wrong?
To show the address is active a simple partial withdrawal is all that is needed.
Lets pretend it is blocks 100 to 1100
To show the address that was block 100 just move a fraction say 0.1 btc to the address that is block 101
privacy stays maintained. just do it down the line .1 from 100 to 101 to 102
etc.
If the coins are really abandoned then they become recycle them as rewards.
It movement is shown then the renew for 50 more years.
Essentially Btc has an issue down the road. if a coin is 10,000,000 and a satoshi is 1 dime
a small fee of 1 sat per byte is 14.20 to 22.70
if block size is small and not increase tweak fixed what ever I suspect ltc/doge will be better for miners than btc.
if so miners follow the money and ltc/doge become more secure.
I am not sure how it will unfold.
but.
2024 only 3.125 coins and say .25 in fees.
2028 only 1.5625 coins and say .50 in fees.
2032 only 0.78125 coins and say .60 in fees.
2036 only 0.390625 coins and say .70 in fees. the first halfing that the fees will beat blocks I would be 79 years old.
waiting to see the adjustments that will happen.
