heralded has a way to defeat the banks big rip off business, etc, with their high fees
Bitcoin follows the philosphy of all business, get people in with introductary offers of fees in the pennies or even nothing, and then WHACK, RIP EM OFF
The joke is the fees are even higher now than the despised banks.
Anyone who thinks the miners are going back to penny fees are deluded, no way will they give up their 20 dollar fees ....EVER

From your post its pretty clear you don't understand how the whole system works.
Miners dont have to give up on the 'high fees'. With segwit the median transaction is cheaper, but miner still earn the same.
In addition to that the extreme 'rise of the fees' comes from the BTC value rising up so high. The satoshi amount didn't increase that much - just the countervalue.
Please first read yourself into the functionality of bitcoin and the problems/solutions included before making posts which don't make sense.
A shift from the every-day currency to a store of value has been visible for quite a few months.
