Re-reading a lot of early crypto writing from @cdixon.eth and others, and one of the themes is that of micropayments being a sizable use case. Is this still the case in folks' minds? If so, why haven't we seen it enabled at scale yet? Or have we? If no, why not?

Was bullish on micropayments and even launched the Coinbase tip button in 2015 but NFTs supplanted micropayments It was always about getting creators paid and NFTs enable that in a way that can also be profitable for the patron so just a better model imo

Still will happen imo just as part of their use cases, not as the main one

Appreciate the reply and context. Why do you think NFTs supplanted and not ERC-20s (even creator-oriented ones like Roll, Rally, DeSo)? I guess the external problems of those particular tokens infected the micropayment use case too, rather than it being intrinisic to fungibles?
