All what BRC20 story made BTC blockchain much worse. Everyone hated ETH for its fees but now even BTC have that 40USD fees. And this story may be for months or even years if devs will not do anything (they will not). Sad. There are not so much crypto merchants and even less of them accepts anything that is not btc.

It's so frustrating. Things like this hinder Bitcoin adoption. It doesn't matter if the whole world uses Bitcoin, people get frustrated when they can't send and receive their Bitcoin within minutes.
Bitcoin adoption to me is when I can send and receive Bitcoin anywhere at any time, not just how many people use Bitcoin.

You could wait hours, a whole day in some cases before a transaction can be confirmed. Using an accelerator won't even let you confirm the transaction on time, you've got to wait a few more hours depending.
