Lightning payments also have fixed cost per transaction. Each payment has a base fee. Currently in my experience it is often zero or close to zero, but do you think this will persist? Is there incentive for nodes to route payments for (almost) free?

I definitely think GDP would go up if fixed costs were driven down, but I don't think it would be a huge upward driver of GDP.

It is the same with people whom are putting measly amount of gold in escrow or safekeeping. They spend more for securing their gold as against the amount of gold in their name.
