Bitcoin is most akin to a commodity money...such as a precious metal or salt. Its a frame thats hard for me to grasp as ive never operated in anything other than fiat / credit markets in my entire life ; my brain always wants to compare btc to fiat, lightning to credit cards...etc. But when i think in the frame of commodities, even in the craziest of fee markets, it is still so much more efficient for settling trades than moving physical goods ( if one wants to avoid paper markets ) when you make a commodity good to commodity good comparison.. Its only at times where the btc fee market appears more expensive than the fiat comparison ( although even then you cant even measure the cost of moving fiat so not really fair ), but i think its more accurate to compare btc to markets where actual goods are used in the settlement and in that respect i cant imagine anything ever being cheaper than bitcoin for settlememt.
