also please do the math to understand what bitcoin is and what will be: a scenario with high tx fees means a scenario with high demand for blockspace. It means probably also high net-value for bitcoin, and so high fiat-denominated price and high pirchasing power for bitcoin.

This means that 50k sats will value at some point 1k $ bucks BUT your 50k sats UTXO will become unspendable; moving bitcoin onchain will cost the fiat equivalent of thousands of dollars.

Add some Pareto effects and the consequent "squeeze", and the situation will be also more extreme.

This is bad? I dont think so.

This is dangerous? Absolutely yes, and we need more tools to scale bitcoin off-chain if we want to prepare ourself for the "worst-best-case scenario".

I would divide the mempool into 3 parts. High value tx that can afford high fees. Low value tx for poor, for devs and for L1/L2 interaction. Then the middle layer which could be attacks, gambling, spam. If we expand the mempool in line with the hardears of the day, the fee attacks will become more expensive, and also help secure the chain on top of the top tier fees.
