Low transaction fees are great. Cat jpegs onchain didn’t catch on I guess. But.. It is also indicative of many people using custodial services instead of being sovereign key-holding bitcoiners. Which enables fractional reserves, paper bitcoin and price manipulation. image

do U have % of these metrics?
the ability to avoid custodial services/intermediaries was a💡 moment for me back in the day weird that this concept doesn’t seem to click with some folks, but then again not everyone wants to be free

I don't think so, the average tx is still above 5,000 Let the free market be. More people will be moving Sats money on LN, On-Chained will be used when they become wealthy enough.

Small transfers are done on LN, the bigger transfers are done On-Chain. No body mind paying $10 to move $10K, but they need to move $5 they can simply send it over LN for 1 Sat
Some say ETFs are a layer 2... I say they're fiat gamblers. Our money is not your costume!
