I have a question for a hardcore Bitcoiner: what are your thoughts on the issue linked here? If you look at my history, you’ll see that I’m not trying to troll or start an argument—I am asking out of genuine curiosity.
I consider you to be one of the most influential Bitcoiners on Nostr (unlike those who just treat Bitcoin as a "get rich quick" scheme based on hearsay). I’m asking you specifically because I believe you have likely given serious thought to problems like this.
It seems inevitable that in the future, the mempool will be flooded with just channel-opening transactions. When that day comes, and ordinary people can no longer afford the fees for even a single on-chain transaction, how will they be able to own Bitcoin?
If there is no way for them to do so, wouldn't that essentially negate Bitcoin’s greatest advantage? If there is a solution, what is it?
Oh, of course. Regardless of the ultimate debate over whether gold or Bitcoin is the 'true money' that will endure longer, I do agree with you that those selling Bitcoin now to buy gold and silver will soon regret it. But just to be clear, my question isn't about the near future.
