This is just how the world works. Bitcoin became a "Store of Value" Rather than a "Way of transacting" now. They have a choice to increase the block size for transactions to be faster, but they never did. Well, I guess you better find another coin if you want faster transactions.
Actually it was done, the new BTC is BCH and it is fast and has cheap transactions.
Everyone with BTC before the fork was given equal value in BCH in wallets, so now the choice is yours, use BCH to move smalls transactions fast and cheap and use BTC for storage of wealth or sell off BTC and go balls deep into BCH.
I have both but my coins are all BCH, and a nice amount of BTC was liquidated into BCH and even a few new coins, there's a short term window to make boats loads of money in alt currency, but long run IMO BTC and BCH are the only coins that will be of value 5+ years, in the meantime it's all good.
Same shit differnt name. I came in mid august so no, I didn't get any BCH ..
