We're 15 years in. Fees cover 0.5-1% of security budget. That's "no volume" territory. 5 years left. How exactly do we get from "no volume" to "very large transaction volume" on Bitcoin L1?

Because Lightning Network, Cashu (npub17fz…9yxv) , and every off-chain solution is actively reducing on-chain volume - the exact opposite of what Satoshi said we need.

Please explain it to me 🤔
