or the size of 12 DVD or 2 HD quality movies,
so rougly a families average daily netflix usage ..
(sarcasm->) OMG how would we survive with only dialup unable to watch netflix, oh wait its 2023, not 1999, 100gb a day aint a problem

firstly a dvd is about 2gb.. cd's were 750mb
blur ray is about 25gb
sooo .. 50 dvd 4 HD movies


anyway lets ignore dvd/hd and just go by your 100gb
secondly 1kb/tx.. pfft.. lean tx can be 4x smaller, so your math = 25gb a day.. way under the netflix demand

thirdly not everyone holds bitcoin compared to fiat
but lets say 25% did
thats another rational 4x less, so your math = 6.25gb a day.. way under the netflix demand

fourthly not everyone needs to use bitcoin as often as their debit/cred card
but lets say people used bitcoin half as often as their debit/credit card
thats another rational 2x less, so your math = 3.125gb a day.. way under the netflix demand

...
your original math is to make transactions 4x larger then they are and ALL population ALL using debit card completely stop using fiat and debit and instead go in full use of bitcoin for all purchases...
sorry but bitcoin does not need to completely replace all fiat debit/credit card use
