Oh hi, when did you land? From mars I mean, seems you haven't been on earth for a few month.

What keeps a network really strong is it's userbase, and we all know after whales are done moving their funds around, there will only remain those end users who can only afford to pay from $1 up to $3, if they can't do that, there will be 2 certain outcomes, some will dump all they have and move to alternatives, and only half would keep a part of their funds in BTC, and they would stop transacting, and would just hodl for long term. Then we can say bye to at least %35 of loyal users, since Bitcoin is not a ponzi, we can expect new bloods joining and keep the system strong, no because people have eyes.

If I was an online shop, I would immediately drop the Bitcoin payments, now if 5000 online shops do that, say bye to 5000 potential long standing users each of them capable of using Bitcoin dozens of times on a daily basis.
