Right now the average transaction on the bitcoin chain is almost $15. That's double the cost of the hard drive space to store the entire blockchain (if you really want to).

No sane person would build on top of bitcoin or use anything built on top of bitcoin. It was taken over then redesigned to be a disaster and now it is.

You are exactly right. The Bitcoin Core GitHub repo was hijacked years ago by Greg Maxwell's and Adam Back's Blockstream.

Until more people understand the history of Bitcoin Core (BTC) they will continue to be confused about the high fees and slow confirmation times.

edit: looks like you are getting downvoted too for telling the truth about Bitcoin Core.
