Zapping will cease if bitcoin is at $1 billion. At that price, 1 sat would be worth $10. Maybe zaps won't totally cease, but they'll be drastically reduced.

They won’t cease. This is decades in the future and you can always use millisatoshis like LN already does.

But the chain doesn't support millisats, does it? I thought it was limited to 8 decimal places. 🤔

on-chain yes. 1 sat is minimum, but we’re yet to see how much LN will grow. it’ll be larger than all attempts at digital cash so far, and later bigger than legacy payment processors

But $10 would also only be enough for a single grape being sold at extreme discount

That's true. I wasn't really factoring in the dollar's deflation and the impact of inflation.
