1: having expensive btc transaction fees makes me stronger to hold on to btc because I don't want to waste my money on expensive transaction fees.
To make you strong, as you put it, you don't need high commissions. The fact that you are not selling your bitcoins at this time is not strength, but greed. See the difference? Strong hands mean you don't care about volatility or commissions, whatever they are. You have a certain period that you planned to invest in.
