What will happen when only large institutions can afford to use Bitcoin's blockchain, due to rising fees? Won't this centralize the network if most can only trade bitcoin on centralized exchanges?
This is an important point to talk about.there are a lot of reason why bitcoin fess is high, for instance where there’s a high network congestion , when there’s a lot of user engaging in the bitcoin transaction and exchanges and this can lead to high volume of transactions fees because of excessive activity on this.

Another one is excessive demand ,it’s a simple logic the more user engaging in it can cause blockage and when you need a faster way out to get access to a something you have to pay a high fess to get access it to so whatever you have to do with it. Bitcoin Halving can also result to Bitcoin block reward halving, which occurs approximately every four years, reduces the number of new bitcoins generated with each block. This can incentivize miners to prioritize transactions with higher fees to compensate for the reduced block rewards.so there a lot of reason for high bitcoin fees but it’s only discouraging it for peolpe or user with little capital and majorly making it for the company to enjoy it because of the high fees transaction costs.
