I suspect that a small subscription might generate more income. Zaps have increasing friction when network fees are high. I think it cost me $60 in fees recently to just move $300 in sats off a custodial app. 🤯
I’m concerned that pleb usage of lightning will fade. Spending $45 or more in fees just to open a noncustodial channel is pretty high for low value usage. I don’t envision us plebs switching to custodial Lightning.
We need to move to L3s but that comes with other issues. They might not be directly compatible and require swap-in-out friction. Will all nostr clients unify with one L3? I guess we’ll see how things develop.
We have a lot of work to do to enable the promise of a frictionless internet of money.
