Replying to @nic__carter @Truthcoin
Lots of dubious assumptions: * Tx fees have historically risen and fallen with price, but they assume they are disconnected * L1 is a payment rail (nope, it's a settlement layer, and no altcoins are generally not as reliable and secure a substitute)

why is L1 a settlement rail (at the obvious expense of payments), is this primarily due to block size?

Lower block size --> more and better connected full nodes --> more trust-minimized than alternatives. People are rightly more comfortable sending higher-value txs over Bitcoin than over alternatives.
