Well, let's say in 10 years Bitcoin is widely used worldwide.
What would the fee be for a cup of coffee? Because if it's too high no one will use it for such payments which is a shame. Of course, that's where LN would solve things to make it cheaper, but it's not "inside the chain". It doesn't feel like "real Bitcoin" or something. But I also don't see any other solutions for this problem. Centralized nodes is a worst case scenario.

Bitcoin will be many forms in the future for it to be transacted instantly. Lighting Network or side chain are one of them. But they are still bitcoins.

I would think that the transaction fees would still be quite low. Even with wide spread adoption, the network would most probably still be able to handle the transaction volume with the block size change. Even if the value sky rockets, the transaction fee could be adjusted to compensate for it.
