If we get to that stage, the high fees are sustained (more than 1 month) and no trustless L2 works, then we have failed. It would be time to pack things up and move on.

I'm not some bitcoin religious fanatic. I'm here for the freedom, not the cult.

Is truly trustless even theoretically possible?

Even Bitcoin (L1) is just trust minimizing solution.

We'll see how it turns out, the markets will decide what are the acceptable tradeoffs.

Trustless in the sense of "unilateral exit", not in the sense of "no tradeoffs".

LN would be "trustless" in this context but unfortunately it does not survive sustained high fees.

That makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.

Hopefully achievable.
