If the price is rising with these problems, imagine where it would be if they were solved. I guess there's a lot of money coming into the bitcoin and altcoins market lately, there are new people who are entering this world now and surely many of these new investors are people with a lot of money, that is, whales. It´s possible that for these people there is not much difference between paying 20 cents or 5 dollars in fees and they have no problem waiting a little for their transactions. For ordinary people it´s more annoying, especially to make micropayments or send small amounts of money, but not for them. Also, if there are people who are buying as a store of value, they will not have problems with paying slightly higher fees either.
