If bitcoin is useless, then explain why literally billions of dollars are flowing into it. The market determines the value. The market has spoken. You are wrong.

because the market don't care about the fee, the value you are seeing on the market is based on trading on exchange, which don't need to move any bitcoin, they are always there on the exchange and changed for fiat or changed back to bitcoin all the time

I tell essentially the same all the time

And many traders still move their coins in and out of exchanges, though they certainly prefer not to use the blockchain and thus not to depend on miners and how soon, or rather late their transactions are going to be confirmed. Whenever there is a possibility I, for one, prefer to use payment vouchers which are close to instant and pretty cheap (at times, you even get paid some dust for using a specific payment channel)

I will just go with wallet exchanges. We pay the same and yet they make it faster rather than blockchain.
I dont know what is wrong with the blockchain but it is seems like there are a lot more transactions that are being made there.
Coinbase does have a faster one with a 59k sats fee.
It is okay for me if everything will be done smoothly.
The only problem is country restrictions and unsupported ones.

I don't quite understand what you refer to here

Interwallet transactions are free and they are instant because the actual coins don't move anywhere. The web wallet internal accounting has nothing to do with the blockchain. When you pay the fee, a transaction from a Coinbase wallet (or any other wallet, for that matter) hits the blockchain in the usual way, i.e. it gets confirmed by the miners as any other transaction. So there is no way how it could be faster (provided all other things, e.g. transaction fee, remain the same, of course)
