i think i understand what you're saying. basically, why would that evolve.

I'm trying to understand what systems might evolve out of bitcoin far down the line. what happens when a utxo doesn't exceed the tx fee?

some teach utxo management to prevent locking up funds. but what if you could leverage that problem? that's what I'm getting at

BTC will be/is a layered system.

On chain high value transactions high fees where ownership/settlement is important.

On lower chains, like LN now, smaller transaction will be done fast & cheap.

If needed this system will evolve.

is a 100 sat utxo worth 100 sats in the year 2140?

isn't that utxo essentially worthless because it can't me moved on-chain anymore because tx fees exceed the value?

what happens when a utxo value falls below the tx fee?

will a 100 sat utxo be worth 100 sats in 2140?

if you can't move the utxo on-chain without destroying the value, doesn't it mean that utxo is worthless?
