Fees are still high. I don’t think bitcoin is only for early miners who have a lot of bitcoins, and for rich people’s who have a lot of money they both can pay as High fees he wants. We have to focus on whole users wich don’t have *million of bitcoins and can’t handle such a high fees.

I still use 1 sat/B, and it still works. Takes a while, but who is in a hurry? Its not like i'm in a shop waiting for a coffee to be served or something...

You don't need to be a "millionaire" you just need to use a decent wallet that lets you input a manual transaction fee. Bitcoin works fine, you just have to use it properly, most people are misled by the wallets, well don't let them decide whats a good fee and what isn't, they are wrong. The network doesn't matter unless you are in an absolute hurry, and in most cases, you don't.

Just send at the cheapest fee and relax. Check back tomorrow or the day after that, it'll eventually confirm, it always does.

Guess I was unlucky with my transaction then. I've sent about 50, 1sat/B always went through within a few hours except this one time after halving. While I agree with you it's pretty inconvenient for someone having to wait several days to get their bits. Certainly made me look at wallets like Electrum to give me greater control of my transactions and check with sites like bitcoinfees to make sure I know the appropriate fees before sending.
