You're right, it has been blown way out of proportion by the press. In fiat terms, yes it was high, but it should have been put in perspective. Even so there was a point where the BTC price for transactions was higher than desirable too. There has been a lot of research to improve scaling and lower the transaction fees. It's cutting edge, a work-in-progress, but the mainstream press has been merciless, painting Bitcoin as a finalized product.
Charging $55 just to store 250 bytes of data was out of proportion, not by the press but common sense and save the mumbo jumbo
about scaling because your not even a programmers but as a punter even you should be asking the question that if the block-chain was
so good then why is being "off-block" in the lightning network now such a cool new plan.

if you think you can manage the technical side then do read the white paper
https://lightning.network/lightning-network-paper.pdf or at least take a peek at
the network map
https://lnmainnet.gaben.win/What part of banker running and charging fees for the lightning network hubs would you like to go over with me
because I am more than happy to oblige or are you being paid to post outdated sale literature with bullshit about it
being cutting edge.
Come talk to me when you want to lean about bits and bytes or scaling because you are being feed
problem-reaction-solution and appear to be soaking it up.
