It's interesting watching "Bitcoiners" become commies as soon as the fees go up.

Spoiler: Fees are meant to support the #Bitcoin network. They'll probably be much higher at some point.

"Spammers" are paying for block space and you aren't. Cope or fuck off and create a better solution.

Bitcoin is supposed to be an upgrade from the current banking system. Bringing censorship resistant banking and wealth storage to those who are unbanked, stuck in hyperinflation or politically unpopular. If we are paying $50 to move a utxo, how is that barrier better than just going with visa? it renders the ability to use the network, unworkable.

If saylor is correct, and Bitcoin is going up forever, what is the real cost there? in some cases, the current fees are more than the utxo's are worth.

As far as "spammers" go, if they are clogging the network that is meant to withstand governmental attacks, but can effectively make the system unusable by the average person with monkey pics, then who are we kidding? An engineered currency that can't be used as currency, doesn't sound like a bright new future.

Maybe have an intelligent conversation about the issue instead of telling people to fuck off?
