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.
The btc transaction fees are not fixed, they only increase when the bitcoin network usage is really high, and the fees determine how fast you are going to get your btc transaction done, miners normally attend to transactions with higher fees first, because they consider them urgent, whilst the ones with lower fees will take some time to get processed, so if your not in need of your bitcoin urgently, then use a lower transaction fee, you can try using this site(
