I don't know who needs to hear this, but high fees is just not a good solution. If fees are high, I need to run my own miner to compensate the fees I pay while transacting. And if I cannot grow miners in my own garden, then it does not work. Then it is a problem, it is not fun anymore. And problems tend to get solved. Then everyone is a slave of chinese, engineers and alike, and here we go again - collectivism and slavery. Bullshit.

Feels like we will be going back to gold and silver (or no money at all) after another 100 years. This is too complicated.

Autocrats are needed to fix it all by forced centralized layer 2 money (custodial noKYC lightning), with bitcoin layer 1. No way around autocrats. Basically El Salvador model. Just save that fake democracy sugarcoating.
