If the only thing that is stopping you from spending your coins are the high fees then you will not be able to hold your coins for long as I doubt the congestion on the network will last forever.
In fact, it has dropped significantly from yesterday to today. High priority transactions, according to mempool.space, currently 66 sat/vB which is quite lower than these days.
Now I will not deny that out of convenience I am purposely avoiding making any bitcoin transaction at the moment,
I think we have all been forced into it a little bit. With fees going up to almost $20 for a normal 1 input and 2 outputs transaction, most of the forum who get paid between $50 and $125 per signature campaigns will not have wanted to lspend a significant percentage in fees. So I agree with the OP, because we have been a bit forced into it. Although, as you say, if it's the only thing that takes someone to hold, it won't last long because the fees will eventually go down and they already are, what we can't know is if it's a dip before another spike or if this craze will finally calm down and we'll return to more affordable fees.
