Disagree. Things fall to marginal cost of production. Moore's law persists. 1 byte of data might as well be free today. That wasn't true 20 years ago. Tomorrow 1mb might as well be free. Show me a flashdrive smaller than 8gb I can buy from Walmart. Storage is trending at less than 25¢ per GB now. 2 years ago it was double. 2 years from now it might be half. What's the size of this note? If it costs .0000000002¢ to store this note it might as well be free because your competition will provide it for free to the user if you don't at that point.

Between your Internet connection, hardware and chain fees you paid, it's not even close to zero.

Open a channel with me, I'll send you one sat then close the channel, we'll see how free it is 😅

My point is things get cheaper and trend to free because technology is deflationary.

I'm not sure you'd argue against that. Yes, I understand ⚡in its current state and I get your point. This is why ecash and Ark are something to follow closely. 👀

I dunno man, I see Bitcoin chain fees going up over time, and by a lot

fiat parallel is base chain = fed wire, lightning = ACH payments

-that we are currently using to send pennies.

Do you see a way to layer for lower fee zaps?
