Generally, this means miners receive fewer new units per new block as time goes on. Eventually, miners will only receive transaction fees for their work, although this has yet to happen in practice and may not for some time.
It can be observed that in the short term (2–4 and 4–8 day period band) there is no consistency in results; in some cases the null hypothesis can be rejected and in some cases it cannot. In the medium term there is more consistency in rejection of the null hypothesis in favour of bubble regime coherence values significantly exceeding the non-bubble regime values. In the long term, the proportion of instances exhibiting statistical significance reduces, with the majority of cases in the 256–512 band not being a rejection of the null hypothesis. This reduction of statistically significant differences when considering longer term periods further emphasises the point that it is the medium term in which coherences tend to strengthen during bubble regimes.
