Maybe this is another in a series of topics about how the fees are too high these days, but considering that a lot of members are literally disappointed that they can't use Bitcoin the way it should be used, maybe we should clarify some things so that everyone would not continue to pretend that we live in a world where we should continue to expect that Bitcoin will become a global means of payment that will be used by just about everyone.

In my country, wẹ use local currency mostly and not using bitcoin or cryptocurrencies for spending. I have no option than to first convert my coins to fiat if I want to purchase something. I can say that many of us that were frustrated has been because higher amount of bitcoin is now required to move signature campaign earning and posting about it.

Let us hope something will be done about this mempool congestion.

In addition to volatility, high fee is one of the things hindering Bitcoin penetration into the mainstream. People are increasingly becoming discourage to integrate Bitcoin payment into their businesses. Even when there seems to be a way around it, many people are not aware and those who are may not feel comfortable using them. For instance, not much people know how to use the Lightning Network, hence the reason it is not too popular.
