We're 15 years in. Fees cover 0.5-1% of security budget. That's "no volume" territory. 5 years left. How exactly do we get from "no volume" to "very large transaction volume" on Bitcoin L1?

Because Lightning Network, nostr:npub17fzkepv3q2szsvdefmws9znhhpzx9kvhgl2p3jqk9tm5z6sjalvsg49yxv , and every off-chain solution is actively reducing on-chain volume - the exact opposite of what Satoshi said we need.

Please explain it to me 🤔

It’s true that onchain usage is stagnating. But it keeps evolving. Ark and Spark are scaling while using onchain. Even lightning is on one hand reducing the need of many onchain transaction but creating dependency on it at the same time.

Nobody knows what is the reasonable security budget. Maybe it’s still too big.
