 Listening to Bob Burnet on the latest “what bitcoin did” podcast, he talks about how the scarcity of block space makes it mathematically impossible for all people on earth to self custody. It would take 40 years of transactions to disseminate btc on the base layer to everyone on earth. This brings up the question of self sovereignty vs community self sovereignty. For example, is a person really self sovereign if they have btc only on Lightning because base layer block space is finite.
