The problem is not that transaction fees are expensive, but frankly accepting that bitcoin's price increase helps altcoins (LTC,....) all benefit.

IMO, I also quite like choosing LTC in periods of price increase, especially after bitcoin halving, switching to investing in altcoins brings better profit performance, but at periods like this, the volatility of the market increases suspicion but also comes with the opportunity to buy at a low price. Anyway, each person will have a different plan to approach the market, so just do whatever feels right.
