How to read this

Card economics have a fixed component (~30¢) that dwarfs sub-dollar payments — at $0.01 per request, cards would consume roughly 31× your revenue. x402's ~$0.0001 network fee makes the same price point profitable, which is why 98.6% of machine payments settle in stablecoins. Above roughly $10–15 per transaction, conventional billing becomes competitive again — that's the micro/macro split.
