I am waiting for altcoints spring part 4, which will hopefully bring some extra higher marketcap altcoins such as LTC, DOGE, XRP, DOT, ...
Of course, after a while, we will find out if Ethereum fees have decreased with the introduction of this protocol. However, I think that since everyone expects fees to drop dramatically and there will even be an opportunity for micropayments, this will not happen. Both Bitcoin and Ethereum have become a store of value and a tool for large sums of money on exchanges, and DeFi, first of all. After the introduction of the protocol, there may be a reduction and there will be, but I think it will still be insufficient for micropayments. And accordingly, they will never be used by players with small stakes.
As long as the ETH issue is solved and you can do transactions for like 2-3 dollars, that is fine that is good enough hell even 5 dollars is good enough, right now last I checked it was 40 dollars, that is insane and only the whales would gamble that way, so anything under 5 dollars will be capable of bringing much more people and that will change things.
