It does make you strong because high fees are preventing you to do small transactions lol. You said you're a long term investor and it looks like you mean high transaction fees are perfectly fine for you because you are a long term holder? well, this high transaction fee is an attack towards Bitcoin network to prevent the mediocre investors from doing micro transactions. This means BTC might go down because of higher transaction fees. If it's prolonged, do you think you'll get enough profit out of your long term holding? To be completely honest, I don't see anything positive about this high transaction fees.
Your last opinion is correct. With low transaction fees, it'll allow small investors who has been DCAing and those who's gradually accumulating bi-monthly or monthly to buy BTC regularly and this is one of the reason for BTC to increase it's value.
