The way i have used Bitcoin for a while is this: I use Bitcoin as a store of value. My largest holding and i only rarely take from it.
For smaller payments i need to make i use something like USDT on Tron. Its just better for small and fast payments. While Lightning is also an option, its just not widely adopted enough to have an impact

Exactly what am thinking. Perhaps the core developers have decided that BTC should not be used for payments, but as digital gold and as a store of value. Only the rich BTC holders can easily make payment these days. Little amount of Bitcoin transactions on the blockchain is hardly made. The might still be the block size limit and something should be done about it. Am having a though that the price will remain high like this for some time at least till the ordinal hype of a thing is over and if they are reduce now we might be waiting hours for confirmations.
