on chain is still needed fairly regularly

i get paid for my job on a monthly basis on chain, it is more private and secure for me to do that on my own node

the amounts i push to my offramps are big enough to be still cheaper than if i were using other payment systems like paypal or wise or whatever (way cheaper than moneygram and WU that's for sure)

every time demand for on chain transactions rises new ways to reduce onchain data sizes continues to arise

btw, the fee rate is related to the exchange rate not to the satoshis themselves, that's part of the reason why the fees keep dropping also... bitcoin price goes up, margin goes down when denominated in sats

maybe after the halvening fees might at most double but when you consider how many transactions is in a block and if the fee rates go up to maintain the same DOLLAR value of blocks then ... it's still deflating... bitcoin on chain transactions are still cheap compared to most other money transfer services for small payments

the arguments for big blocks just don't match up with the needs of the network and its users
