Just wait until the fees reach 100$ because the issue keeps getting ignored as users claim its still cheap or its not meant for small transactions.

The reality is bitcoin won't survive without a solution to further scaling so stop saying its not meant for small transactions or that the fee is cheap as if there isn't any problem when there clearly is.

No one ever used to back me up when i called for lower fees

No one used to back me up for anything  Cheesy

Times have changed everyone wants lower

fees now aye!

It wont take $100 fees for devs to change or the market to react. It wont take $50. If they double we will be up the proverbial creek.


If we see 2 dollar fees nobody is going to buy anything less than 50 dollars for most part with btc. That is where you will lose normal people. Why the hecknwould a normie want to pay a fee to get into bitcoin from fiat then also pay a fee when buying. To any average person that is insane. Poor people in other countries basically cant use btc right now either. 1 dollar fee in usd over there is like their whole day of work.

Btc is going to lose a lot of the normal people it used to benefit. No reason for me to sell something in btc right now and make someone else pay a dollar fee. Better off using something else and converting into fiat right away. Much cheaper.
