it's OK tho, when LN comes out fee will go right back to 1cent, because it will relieve a lot of pressure from the blockchain
LN is designed to improve scaling. Fee reductions are just a consequence of being able to conduct more transactions.
Remember how the US$ got bootstrapped? the Gold Standard?
Gold standard's long gone.
People still use
LN doesn't have legal tender laws to force people to use it. If it's not backed by Bitcoin (or something) the market will probably reject it in favor of something better.
