Bitcoin is suffering growing pains right now. We need to give it some time in order for the scaling solutions to me researched, coded and implemented into the ecosystem. Once they are properly rolled out, we'll be back to cheaper and fast transactions like we grew accostumed to in the past.
yeah bitcoin is indeed suffering from these sever pains these days and i think it has already given a time to fix it on the past but still we are still expereincing this kind of problem. bitcoin always undergo on segwit and hardforks but that didnt help even and infact the problem keeps getting worse and worse day by day due to this scaling/block problems. i didnt really feel those lightning networks that some are always keep saying or maybe that has not yet been implemented? past is totally different from the present of bitcoin because that time bitcoin was still verry cheap and people arent aware that bitcoins exists but today bitcoins value is friggin high due to the demand that it gets from the public and that is the main reason on why bitcoin networks are really congested.
