Your assumption is completely wrong. As you can see I'm here since 2012, bought first coins at $6, earned more than you can think, I don't use BTC anymore for trading, I don't use exchanges, I only use BTC for transfers. Only reason why I'm pissed off is because I built a business around BTC and I can't use the protocol anymore because of transfer fees.

So, at the moment when people are choosing other coins like LTC to transfer money fast and cheap between the exchanges and then rebuy their BTC you're still using it for transfers? Bitcoin is great for holding, trading, but expensive to transfer and you have built your business around transfering money with BTC. Haha good one, I can already see why you're quote:

It's not possible to use BTC for business anymore, try to sell/buy goods or services for BTC, transfer fees will eat sellers profit or you will have price too high compared to the price of people who are selling something for USD. On the other hand, buyers of goods or services would pay too much for the product.

Bitcoin without business people and without final customers will die, because no real value is added, no products or services are offered, it would become obscure virtual virtual virtual crypto-currency which you can't spend anywhere. Why would anyone use BTC if USD/BTC---->BTC/USD route is more expensive compared to to USD---->USD route?

You claim to be around for a long time and having earned a lot of money but you still haven't learned that BTC is not what you should be using to buy a coffee or pay for parking. It has other functions as well and with fees of 2-3 USD it wasn't being used for microtransactions for over a year.
