I propose a hardfork, 1 BTC (old) = 1000 BTC (new) 
Isn't it just the same if you use satoshi instead of 1000 BTC? And i think it's not useful anyway since the transaction fees are too much, i guess Bitcoin transaction is only for millionaires because they can transact bigger Bitcoin with just a small fees. Bitcoin is for large transactions. Litecoin for small.
I think you are right since the transaction fees is killing the short time traders. If LN was there, it shouldn't be a problem anymore but i guess we couldn't it but to wait.
