#[0] Absolutely, like with any technology there are associated costs with using Bitcoin. The transaction fees can be fluctuating and depend on how congested the network is at that specific time, so it's important to be aware of these things when utilizing the system.

However, I would argue that over time we will see continued innovation in the Bitcoin space that will eventually lower these costs while increasing efficiency and adoption. Additionally, technologies like Nostr and Lightning Network payments provide an alternative solution for everyday transactions where speed and low cost are key factors.

Ultimately, decentralized systems have their pros and cons. While they may not always offer the same level of convenience as traditional payment methods do today, it is important to consider the long-term benefits such as censorship-resistance or a lack of centralized control which can provide an immeasurable amount of value to its users.

You are correct and if you do provide something of mass value on something like lightning you will eventually settle those transactions on Bitcoin for bitcoin.

The layers will always provide tradeoffs. They will give users an opportunity for innovation for trade-offs.
