You pay 2000$ in fees per block you're going to have a 2000$ security!
If $2,000 will be the reward per block, then there won't be a point on having Bitcoin in the first place. If ~$2,000 is the average block reward in a decade or two from now, then it'll already be dead. The $2,000 is the side effect. The cause is the fact that nobody uses it.
Short-term, lol!
Define me the ideal block size, and tell me the reasoning behind it.
You will either have more demand and higher fees, or you will have lower fees cause nobody is interested in using it anymore.
We're currently paying about 10x in fees, and I don't see lots of people being uninterested. Perhaps because not many use it as currency in the first place, but that's a topic for another day.
And you know that in order for every American to open a channel on the second layer you will need everyone to stop making a tx for the next three years at the current capacity?
Except that I never argued we can reach global adoption with solely lightning. It's you who's complaining and proposing to increase the block size. And I'm telling you the obvious: we either go full-VISA-data-center, or we figure out something smarter, with more respect to decentralization, security and privacy. And as the Bitcoin development and history are concerned, we're heading towards the latter.
