Bitcoin was never supposed to make people rich.

Bitcoin was supposed to me a pseudo anonymous p2p payment system with an open ledger.

Why would we price out the majority of the world from using it due to high fees?

That's the nature of a free market, no? Those willing to spend the most money get to have their transactions included.

The free market always gives priority to the people with a lot of money.

And if you're not attempting to do any on-chain transactions right now, you are not pricing anyone out.

I figure these clowns who are paying $20/transaction will run out of money at some point and without a sucker to buy their NTF, they'll have no choice but to stop.

Oh, I see it is now up to $50+ for even the simplest transaction.

It's a shame lightning didn't catch on sooner. Unfortunately the non-custodial lightning software requires expert knowledge to use, so it's no wonder it hasn't caught on.
