Yeah if BTC hodlers panic and cry for a dev rescue BTC deserves to crash out.
This is a test of wills and BTC needs to hodl hodl hodl. Also do a few small btc moves to support net work.
Forget about Hodlers, I doubt if they even care about the current fees.
The problem is that the high fees are not sustainable for people making day to day transactions in the long run. This is supposed to be one of the strong points of Bitcoin. Eliminate the middleman who could charge you exorbitant fees like how banks and all those other payment providers do.
I doubt there is any need for concern over the whole BRC-20 debacle. The truth is that its not sustainable for the attacker,
With this confidence and the innocence you have, I am sure they (the attacker) gave up on the fees on the Ethereum Network that spiralled past $100 even when they had hundreds of thousands of Dollars in their pockets after selling scam coins to gullible traders.

Our hope is the congestion stops when the hype dies down, but let say it continues for 2–3 years like it happened in another network. What next?
How many of us do you think will start using alternative networks in order to make transactions?
