As painful or disappointing as this may seem, the truth remains that, not very many care much about the health and well-being of the bitcoin network, they care not whether the fees are off the roof, all they care for is to make money, and they do not care what or who gets affected by their actions.
I have a bitcoin payment I am supposed to have sent since 3 days ago, but can't because the high fees, as I just can't get myself to agreeing to pay a fee of $15 to $20 just to send $50 worth of bitcoins to another wallet.
This thing is really painful and annoying at the same time.
If the community doesn't do anything about the fees, mainstream adoption for BTC will decline at a very fast pace. Average people will just switch to another cryptocurrency with lower network congestion (cheaper and faster to use). With the halving underway, things will only get worse. There's no denying that miners are cashing out big time with the Ordinals craze. They don't care if users have to pay high fees, as long as their pockets are filled with money.
Maybe developers will find a way to lower fees without blocking/filtering Ordinals inscriptions? I'd say Bitcoin already entered uncharted territory. We can't predict what will happen in the long run, so lets hope for the best. Just my opinion
