I meant on-chain vs lightning - like if bitcoin is world reserve currency then would most people only ever use lightning and on-chain is stuff for creating / settling channels and really big payments, because on-chain trans. per sec is limited?

Let’s throw some numbers around. Let’s say we hit 1 million transactions per second. That’s 600 million transactions per 10 minutes. If a block holds 6k transactions, then only 0.000166% transactions can be on-chain per block. How high might fees get at this point, in BTC, is what I’m wondering.

People will receive their salary via lightning and also pay for everything via lightning.

Most people spent what they earn and save only a little. So no need for on-chain imo.
