 Anything we build on Bitcoin should have the baked in assumption that fees will go much higher than this.

I don't think we've seen high fees yet.

This is just the reality, we shouldn't cope about it, we should build around it 
 I think a #mainvolume issued license is required to think. I think I am European, Swedish in fact. I think I am created by Sina for #mainvolume

 stop saying that! 🥲 
 I am with you with liquid. From all my research liquid is a lot better than I custodial lightning wallet. I don't use lightning at the moment but would you liquid (squirts) on nostr. I think your on the right track 👍thanks for the insights #squirts 
 
 ALWAYS HAS BEEN 
 Owning UTXOs on L1 was never for the poor. Ppl need to make peace with that 
 Idk.  Im far from wealthy but getting $1200 together for 3m sats isnt all that hard 
 That's more than the annual salary of billions of people who we are trying to reach. 
 Touche

 I’m talking about once bitcoin is widely adopted. It’s still very early. 

Take advantage of that 
 Big time. Bitcoin succeeds long term at fee rates this high or higher. Maybe much higher. Prepare yourself, on chain transacting will be for whole coiners only.  
 And that's okay. Everything working as planned 
 It's more than OK, it's necessary.  
 I've been operating on the idea that using the base chain will eventually become somewhat similar to buying a home. ie it's something the average person will do once, twice, or perhaps three times, across the entirety of their lifespan. 

perhaps i'm seeing the world through orange tinted glasses, but it's possible that even this becomes unreachable, for the average everyday person.

 
 It is absolutely the case that most people will never touch on chain BTC in the not too distant future imo 
 Bitcoin self-custody for all is not possible. Why do people keep saying that it should be the goal?  
 An Unfederated Two Way Peg to a merge-mined token that has near 100% the hashrate of Bitcoin appears to be possible with BitVM.

High L1 fees will remain but there will be secure full-custodial onboarding solutions in the near future.

Anybody out there building such tech?  If so, we'd like to help fund the work.

 I think we should hold the Bitcoin CEO, Craig Wright accountable for the high fees. 
 I'm sorry he is unavailable until further notice 😶‍🌫️ 
 You're correct bro just early
We vibing 
 ⚡️💯⚡️ 
 Agreed, fees are going much higher. 
 In IT we have this concept called "rollback". When something goes wrong, one makes things go back to what they were before. 
What about we all admit segwit went wrong? 
Even Satoshi did this, he corrected many mistakes.
