Bitcoin fees are not always so low, but they are much better with greater adoption of segwit, so much that was normal for months to send transaction with 1sat/vB and expect to be received in few hours (day max).
More people are usins Lightning Network that can reduce the load on main chain, and there is over 32,000 LN nodes with over 19,000 being active, and almost 84,000 channels.
Paying minimal fees with more private transactions sounds very good to me.
Also bitcoin can never become proof of stake unlike other coins,so where does this leave us ?
That is never going to happen on Bitcoin and there is no need for that, but even if some people decide to fork off they will just create one more worthless shitcoin.
