I totally agree with you. the recent change in Bitcoin fees is really impacting its adoption in various ways. Even though it has temporarily reduced, we don't know how long it will stay that way. The root causes behind the initial increase in transaction fees haven't been resolved yet, so the reduction might be short-lived and could go back up unexpectedly.

During the period of high fees, many small investors might have felt frustrated and turned to investing in other cryptocurrencies instead of Bitcoin. Some businesses that previously accepted Bitcoin may have switched to alternative payment methods. This surely affects the adoption rate. A friend of mine who was eager to invest in Bitcoin last year got discouraged when he learned about the high transaction fees. He decided to wait until they came down. But do you think he'll invest the same amount he initially planned?

The rate of adoption has been impacted, and there's a concern that if high fees persist, people might start seeing Bitcoin more as a store of value and less as the medium of exchange or payment system that Satoshi, its creator, intended. We hope this issue of high fees doesn't become a recurring problem.
