>Bitcoin's killer app is the network itself. The fact that you can send money/transfer wealth instantly

Instantly?

>can't reaaally use Ethereum for the same purpose because of high fees

BTC fees are also high?

Yes, that assertion sound like it's coming from someone who has never actually used Bitcoin.

There are cryptos which are instant and without transaction fees (e.g. Nano for payments and maybe in the future IOTA as an alternative to Ethereum). So there is some hope for the technology, but it remains to be seen if any of this actually takes off.
