Well the confirmation time is a big pain there is no doubt but to compare it with a alt like dogde and how many of us even use dodge for it to be slow. Currently the only option is to raise the fees there is no other option, till some other solutions is found. I doubt people will stop using it ever, yes we all will complain about it but stop no. As far for more people to use it, I feel many of us me including prefer to stick to it cause of the monetary benefits and it's decentralised nature. Currently there a lot debate going on for this, but so far no solution let's hope we do find a solution in the near future.

Common sense says there will be a solution and that it´s a matter of time. In my opinion this solution should go through the application of segwit in a short time. It is the most supported option by the community and the safest option as the other option is showing security problems. The logical thing would be that segwit were activated and this way bitcoin can begin to solve its scalability problems

If BTC doesn't become a standard for small payments as well where's all the fun Smiley

...if there will not be a fix for the long confirmation times (don't tell me raise the fee) I doubt it will ever be used on a big scale.
If, by big scale, u mean small payments, then no. Bitcoin does not aim to scale to support huge amount of minuscule payments.

Even if it reaches 5k... this is not how it should work. It can fall down big this way.
Bitcoin does not aim to replace StartBucks. It aims to replace PetroDollar. So, this is exactly how it should work.

Look at Dogecoin how fast it is in comparison... that's the way to do it.
Look at Dogecoin price for comparison.

Let's hope for a fix... in the near future. To be trustful and really become popular it needs to be fast. It's a must.
One crypto can not be 'trustful' and 'fast' at the same time. One compliments the other.
