As one of the many small hodlers and lovers of Bitcoin, do you expect that within this year we can see better and much, much lower fees we can enjoy? Or do foresee that politicking will set again and ruin everything?
Sure, it's possible! There's no shortage of incentive for the developer community to come up with a real solution. Could it be the Lightning Network? Perhaps. Could it be something else? Sure.
If the politicking continues people will continue to seek another coin that doesn't have such high fees for currency transaction use.
But for you, as a hodler, you shouldn't worry about the fees. You'r hodling, not transacting. And the fees to divest a long hodl are still better than the alternative in the stock and bonds world.
