The minimum TX fee for Bitcoin is one satoshi. Now, imagine if market prices keep going up until 1 BTC is worth $100m. This means 1 satoshi will be worth $1 (USD). Do you think there's a possibility this will happen in the future? If Blockchain capacity remains low, this could be a real pain in the head for the average person using BTC on a daily basis. I know such a prediction is insane, but if there's one thing I've learned about crypto is that nothing is impossible.
Thoughts?
1 sat = $1What a dream! This is not gonna happen any soon or simply put that it's not gonna happen. I applaud Op for being able to think out this because it is purely insane to reason. We should instead think how bitcoin to make $100 and after that bitcoin will make $1k and yet 1 sat will not be $1. Even if 1 BTC = $1M, 1 sat will not be $1.
When 1 sat will make $1 is if bitcoin values to the range of $100M and this is impossible. The only thing that will actualize this is if the USD is on a steady and speedy decline for 10 good years. And if that happens, the world economy must have collapsed.
It may happen in 2140's but we won't be able to see it happening then. I even saw someone else who thought a similar thing that what would be the life of Bitcoiners when the price of a Satoshi become $1 in value, and the response that person received were almost similar to the ones in this thread.
I'm quite sure that many of us will see the day when one Bitcoin will be worth at $1 million dollars because that's surely going to happen in a decade or two, however 1 Satoshi to $1 is not going to happen in our limited lifetime. There is most probable chance that the price of a single Bitcoin would be $100 million in 2140's and only then someone can see a single Satoshi worth at $1 dollar in value.
There is another thing that could make the process of 1 Satoshi valuing at $1 dollars, and that's the decline of dollar in value due to huge inflations, and even that thing is not going to take place anytime soon. I know that there are some economies that are working on BRICKS currency to make USD less important then its current levels, but even those won't be able to devalue the USD anytime soon.
