Good point about patience. Eventually things will stabilize and fees will be consistently high. What happens then?

L2 solutions will probably get a massive boost as problems/crisis is when innovation explodes.
Still, this eventuality is purely hypothetical - nobody can say for certain if a high fee env will become the norm. We had a pretty long period recently, which also ended with fees as low as 4 s/vb.
It was always the case. Bitcoin base layer was never made for everyday spending. It’s the base layer of sound money. Other layers will answer your issue. I use base layer as longterm SoV, layer 2 i use for spending. Chill, it’s early days. But yes longterm fees will rise, adoption will create higher fee environment.
