What you need to know is on chain Bitcoin fees is still cheap nowadays unlike on 2017 back where the fees is really high and aren't affordable.
are you sure tx fees in the past were higher then now..
guess where the flatline ends(left side where prices were low and flat).. and guess where the more volatile scribbles(right side) of higher prices begins..
need i say more?
in 2012 i was transacting for under 1cent
in 2015 i was transacting for under 5cent
by 2017 people were screaming that it was 10cents and getting too high..
oh and that image above, the price at the top corner mentioned is the NOW average tx fee costs not the old prices
..
to scale BITCOIN actually means to SCALE .. wait for it BITCOIN
its not an oppertunity to advertise another network as the thing people need to jump ship across too.
telling people to stop using BITCOIN NETWORK and find another network is not the solution. its the bait and switch
..
offer sidenets and altnets as niche service networks for certain utility is ok. but NOT as the "solution" where everyone should give up the bitcoin network for, to just only then play on one/two other networks for the long term.
other networks are not the BITCOIN scaling solution,. its the bitcoin replacement bait and switch
