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?

“Micropayments, like all payments, require a comparison… there is a minimum mental transaction cost created by this fact that cannot be optimized away… the only transaction a user will be willing to approve with no thought will be one that costs them nothing” (Clay Shirky, 2000)
