I know Bitcoin is infinitely divisible

Bitcoin is not divisible at all, it is not floating point, there are no decimals.. it is 2.1q sats

Given that, non-0 fees for unilateral use, dust minimums, large holders... maybe 100-200M people can use it.

Scaling is not limited by throughput, lightning is already infinite throughput, the only limitation is supply and that will never change.

lightning is already infinite throughput

that's why BCHers and monerotards will never understand that through a single LN channel you can pass through infinite amount of sats.

And I see that most of the people still don't know how swap services works and why did they exist.

BCHers and monerotards

What these guys have to do with my question?

you are one of them

What makes you think I'm one of them? I'm only presenting a problem and your answer bring the topic in a different direction, but it's OK because centralised entities already took over...

People should go back to the white paper and to the cypherpunk manifesto https://www.activism.net/cypherpunk/manifesto.html

That's exactly the excuse of a BCHer.
Nobody is forcing you to use Bitcoin.

I find your lack of fait disturbing

I see the supply limit as a feature in bitcoin onchain, and with infinite divisibility I was referring to the millisats available in the lightning network.

If one day we rech to use it to price items will be a good win! 1sat = 1,000msat

reply

Millisats are not real, they don't settle on chain, they're an internal accounting abstraction to LN.

Since they are not real, and you need actual on chain footprint to use Bitcoin, the scaling limit remains a function of supply.

reply

they are not real on-chain but yes they are on Lightning. They are irrelevant now for normies but they will become more relevant in the future if we really want to ride the LN

No they aren't. You can't use lightning without chain representation. They're internal only. They literally don't exist.
