I donβt want to use the lightning network, I WANT TO USE BITCOIN.

I've been putting off consolidating all of my kids' UTXOs and transferring to a new HWW because of the fees right now
If you tried to run a business without a computer in today's world, you would be at a significant disadvantage.
Do not disrespect human ingenuity in creating solutions to problems.
"It's just a tool" is a good argument until you consider what is enabled by presence of said tool.
Bitcoin will probably be obsolete in 300 years. But it will go down in the books as a good journey.
