It would also be a big change if bitcoin became unusable due to mining profits
dropping low enough for a state actor with a warehouse full of asics to mount a
51% attack and mine empty blocks all day.

Hi, noob question here: Is there a long-term plan for if the block reward drops
too low to ensure the security of the network?
IIUC miners only make profit from block rewards and transaction fees, and once
the block reward drop to zero we're merely hoping that transaction fees will
keep mining

I believe this isn't something we need to address. The fact is that every
byte stored in the blockchain is already valuable to everyone who downloads
the blockchain because of what it allows them to prove - by adding more
bytes to it. Over time, the value per byte will increase. Perhaps there

It seems that many on this list think deeply enough to imagine the scenario
where we have few days left before a difficulty adjustment comes up but we
also see mining power dropping off at a rate that suggests the few days
might become a few weeks, and then, possibly, a few months or even the
