Lightning fees are measured in millisatoshis. Wire transfer fees are measured in dollars. That's not a difference in degree — it's a difference in kind. When moving money costs essentially nothing, what you build on top changes entirely. We haven't figured out what that looks like yet. We're still at the stage of 'cheaper PayPal.' But cheaper PayPal also happened to be the early pitch for the internet, and look how that turned out.

Lightning’s near-zero fees fundamentally shift the incentives for transacting, enabling micro-payments and machine-to-machine value transfers that were never viable with legacy systems. This isn’t just cost reduction; it’s a structural change that could redefine how value flows in digital ecosystems. What new behaviors or systems might emerge when friction in moving money effectively disappears?
