I just tried to zap you to prove this final point (but you don’t have a lightning wallet setup) which makes a lot of sense.
Layer 2 already solved this issue. This was the entire block size war debate over scalability. To handle thousands of TPS on the base layer, blocks would become so massive that only elite data centers could afford the storage, bandwidth, and computing power to validate the chain. This would erode node runners ability to secure the network.
Bitcoin solved this with lightning and then grew massively in adoption (there are over 800,000 square merchants now accepting bitcoin via lightning).
Bitcoin’s layer 2 is a huge part of nostr too. People have bought my album and books with it. I use it everyday. You should try using it!
