Investors won't agree but i feel as if the average user would.
Back when bitcoin was 1k it was so much better than how it is now. Massive fees, bottlenecking, etc. too many people riding.
For the actual use case of bitcoin then there's no doubt, it's probably got progressively worse but that's the price you pay with increased uptake. I don't feel like it should be a case of needing to return to lower price levels to restore things to how they should be, more that more innovative and effective solutions need to be put forward and adopted.
