The internet revenue models were still nonexistent in the late 90's, but Kelly saw something that described this perfectly. 👌

Lightning payments also have fixed cost per transaction. Each payment has a base fee. Currently in my experience it is often zero or close to zero, but do you think this will persist? Is there incentive for nodes to route payments for (almost) free?
It is the same with people whom are putting measly amount of gold in escrow or safekeeping. They spend more for securing their gold as against the amount of gold in their name.

Love the quote, but how does that apply to a world of networked actors dealing in microtransactions?

Nah I think fees will rise for more speed and reliability
I think fees are competitive. In a world where more competition exists to route fees and payments... fees would go down or at least be disinflationary
Not to be ignorant but who is this guy
Top5 ML/AI dev.
Head of Tesla Self-driving, core-OpenAI eng manager, most respected public educator, kind of like Andreas Antonopoulos for bitcoin.
Ahhh thanks
Bitcoin over LN may be the currency of AI
AI's competing in the mempool solve bitcoin's security budget?
Good question
Andrej gets bitcoin, he did a whole barebone implementation of Core in python years ago, if I remember correctly
You know your technology really made it when Andrej rebuilds it in 48 hours on livestream.
Uh, I only knew about the repo. Is there a video livestream out there? Can you link it?

I’d love to see experiments with ‘zap to unlock article’ instead of a paywall/subscription model.
me too

I definitely think GDP would go up if fixed costs were driven down, but I don't think it would be a huge upward driver of GDP.
