First, as the title states clearly that Bitcoin network fees are not high but it is you as a holder who can't afford it, the reason being that many newbies and some few old members have mistaken this current network condition to mean a crisis.
If you say it is then so be it because people aren't more comfortable about paying high fees while there are other networks with cheaper rates, i don't know how you come about talking in this kind of tone after knowing how this has been affecting alot of bitcoiners seriously.
most Bitcoin old term holder are not complaining because they already have experience of how the Bitcoin networks work per time, and if they want to make a transaction they rather just pay high fees and move on rather than paying low fees with long time of waiting
Could you afford paying $9 all because you want to send $10 maybe you need to consider here that not everyone is a whale or a giant holder who cannot waste time in waiting the confirmation
I hope that a long time from now, most newbies will stop making news from this kind of temporary network congestion, and start focusing more on how to contribute to making the Bitcoin network cleaner and globally adaptable to all, for me I don't see any negativity in bitcoin but rather a lot of opportunity to develop along with Bitcoin as an alternative among another alternatives.
People have to complain because this wasn't how it was before now, maybe you have perform any bitcoin transaction for a very long time and you're not getting to understand the rate at which people are making daily transactions and miners were being served with this benefits.
