Spot on man!
I can tell you I've been a bitcoin fan. I haven't cared for its slowness and I understand why it is slow. I will say that the fees are an even bigger problem than the slowness. All of those predictions about where bitcoin will go by the end of 2018 or by 2020. If the fees keep going up and remain as high as they currently are I'll state it isn't going to happen.
The fees are so ridiculously expensive that it is making a lot of other cryptocurrencies look a lot more attractive.
