Devs: Ok stop PoW, let's go PoS.
Miners: +_+
Devs: Fee are too high, we need reduce.
Miners: We bought stuff and supporting the network for years, we will lost much money, noway.
Users: Fees are too high GTFO
Devs: Fees are too high GTFO
Miners: Ok, you never spoke, we fight then
Kinda logic, right ? ETH should be decentralized right ? Remember why ETC exists ? Because 1 guy was leading, but hopefully it won't be the case anymore.
ETH need that storm to rebuild correctly.
The users have so many choices to move into another platform but miners have no choice. There is another problem like the total supply of ethereum is still unknown and that will make the situation even worst in the future
Sure, I myself left ETH until the issue is resolved. Fees are too high so far.
For now the miners are still well because the ETH value didn't dropped. Peoples still holding. Daily users are affected.
All this is an equilibrium, if the value drop, miners will rethink the offer or leave for a more profitable coin. But as the value remain profitable, they have no reasons to let the dev team reducing the fees.
It could be an major issue if the dev team succeed to reduce the fees because a lot of miners will have to leave ETH mining. And you need the miners to compute all the dApp until ETH go full PoS.
It's a big mess for everybody, for the users, for the miners and for the devs.
The only good thing I see is that peoples are starting to discover new blockchain that are potentially better than ETH. It demonstrate how a bad scalability is destructive.
They worked too late on that point and the solution is too slow to come. I won't be surprised if a speculative flip happen.
