    Why very small payments are hard: "it's important to distinguish between technological and mental transaction costs", and the latter are usually more important. https://archive.is/fzL0I  http://nakamotoinstitute.org/static/docs/micropayments-and-mental-transaction-costs.pdf … …

        True- though algos already able to approximate “want” consistent & comfortable enough w past behavior that ppl are often willing to settle. Ai-curated Spotify playlists, e.g., spare users mental transaction costs via (less expensive) computational costs; and sound 🤟🏼 enough

        You are overthinking it a little. Right now small payments are hard because the transaction limit is artificially constrained to the bandwidth of a 1995 14K modem and users have to out bid each other to transact.

        So the problem with Iota is finding an incentive for someone to use the brain power required to make such a transaction. Although, It might work with Pandora given the right GUI. Thanks for posting. Now I can explain fungibility to my wife using electricity as an example. 😊

        The equivalent is a compelling counterpoint to my thesis that ocean cities will have efficient govts, due to low dollar cost of rearranging aquatory. Still, directionally, lower friction = higher volume, we're just debating the elasticity.
