It seems now that BTC and many of the main cryptos are our of reach for a majority of people. Its become a speculative disaster waiting to happen. A peer to peer decentralised form of payment now left in the hands of 2 individuals who own more than 40% of it and an ever increasing and volatile price which makes transacting in BTC for goods and services practically impossible. Its fair to assume that satoshi would be appaled by what is taking place.
It is true that it become impossible to use bitcoin transactions to pay daily expenses such as buying goods due to high fees.
But any one can buy a small amount of bitcoin and just hold it still profitable especially with recent decrease of pries.
Concerning altcoins, I don't agree with you, you can buy some good coins at a low price.
People holding more than 40% of total supply are not using them.
