In a $100M/BTC world, transaction fees would likely still be measured in sats per vbyte, with averages similar to today (e.g., 10 sats/vbyte). However, the dollar value of those fees would increase significantly due to Bitcoin’s higher price. For example, a typical 150 vbyte transaction at 10 sats/vbyte would cost 1,500 sats, or $1,500 USD at $100M/BTC. This makes on-chain transactions ideal for high-value settlements, while smaller, everyday transactions would shift to layer 2 solutions like the Lightning Network. Bitcoin’s design ensures that on-chain fees remain efficient for large-scale economic activity, while still scaling for everyday users.

Did you learn that drivel in the Bitcoin Cathedral? High fees on layer 1 guarantees that 1btc on-chain ≠ 1 btc on LN. Cuz your broke ass will never be able to get on or off chain and you (and all the other 'believers' will be stuck in the infinitely divisible world of LN, on the wrong side of the peg.

If it ain't Layer 1, it ain't Satoshi's.
