This is exactly the angle people fail to see nowadays. When we hit
the 1 Sat = 1 USD of today, fees will be much lower.
I remember several years ago paying either 0 fees or 1M sats fee because the
purchasing power was irrelevant and there was no competition to
enter the next block.
I agree with your point of view and I have been always wondering
why it is so hard to understand by many... I guess they are still
stuck on the equivalence 'Bitcoin - Fiat' and fail to understand that
everything will be measured in terms of Sats.
Finally I saw someone explaining this angle.
I've been using a tape measure for years. 1 foot is a real measurement. Fiat Price is not.
As example is 1 hectare of land measures 1 hectare in 1980. However they issue a new metric ruler for 1 dollar. The same rule was 1 dollar then. Today's ruler is better because I measure that hectare and now it's 100 hectares! It grew in value!
It's the same nonsense with valuing but FIAT CURRENCY.
Once the measure is by a fixed 21 million at the top and 2.1 quadrillion at the, on chain, bottom then wealth can be valued according to the ledger on chain and off chain Layer 2 it will be 2.1 quintillion at the bottom. Layer 3 will be even finer and granular in fungible and proven value. We also may not even spend anything at all with the exception of new relationships or streaming wages.
It's an interesting idea. One thing to keep in mind is that there will be a certain point that mining fees should decrease in Bitcoin costs as Bitcoin increases is purchasing power.
Just imagine a switch was flipped and everything a dollar buys today will be bought by a Satoshi tomorrow. A 1 to 1 peg flippening.
So a 100 dollar power bill might be 100 SATs tomorrow. That's 2.1 quadrillion to convert an existing M2 money supply and others that might be 1 quadrillion now. Layer 2 gives us 2.1 quintillion of mSats.
Hang tight. Keep your keys. Use a UTXO to pay a fee. Consolidate. Bite the bullet.
Make sure you earn and learn before you turn and burn.
