That's rich, commissions are built into it so that if it's ever successful transaction fees will come in and grow over time.

"The network never creates more than 50 BTC per block and this amount will decrease over time towards zero, such that no more than 21 million will ever exist.[15] As this payout decreases, the incentive for users to run block-generating nodes is intended to change to earning transaction fees."

The transaction fee stays the same, it's 0.0005 BTC.
