\begin{frame}{Bitcoin Mining Rewards}
Two sources of income for Bitcoin Miners, a Block Reward and a User fee
\newline
\begin{center}
Constant Miner Reward
\begin{formal}
``The steady addition of a constant amount of new coins is analogous to gold miners expending resources to add gold to circulation. In our case, it is CPU time and electricity that is expended.''
\begin{list}{$-$}
\item{Satoshi Nakamoto}
\end{list}
\end{formal}
\end{center}
%Current reward is 6.5 Bitcoin
\begin{center}
Variable User Fees
\begin{formal}
%The incentive can also be funded with transaction fees. If the output value of a transaction is less than its input value, the difference is a transaction fee that is added to the incentive value of the block containing the transaction. Once a predetermined number of coins have entered circulation, the incentive can transition entirely to transaction fees and be completely inflation free.

\end{formal}
\end{center}
%Currently ranges from 1\% to 2\% of reward, but has spiked to 25\%
