Sorry to read that.
Make sure to act rationally as much as possible. We sometimes get caught in our emotions with bad result.
Bitcoin is under attack for one. Fees can be okay depending on them. Think about the inflation on fiat currencies, these are insane "fees", while Bitcoin might have fees at this moment, the market is looking ultra bullish and have been for years now.
Segwit would have saved you a lot on fees if it was possible to use it.
Also, I'm not sure Graham Bell or Marconi should necessarily be the person we wonder about when creating new phone and radio just like what Satoshi though when he first created Bitcoin.
I'm neutral on off-chain transaction at this point. We need to seek to find the best solutions for the future and learn from the past and improve on it.
Again I'm neutral on this. I really really doubt Bitcoin Cash will take over Bitcoin but I haven't sold them.
It may not take over. When devs are bragging about paying high fees and so emotional when arguing against BCH, though, it makes me wonder.
I also know what I know, which is that I cannot currently control my funds due to a lousy network. I have not faced this issue with BCH.
You are right about the emotion, and Bell. But as an anarchist, what Nakamoto designed the coin for is important to me. Even Gavin Andresen agrees. I’m not interested in supporting projects which are largely supported by members of the Builderberg Group as BTC Core is.
I wouldn't be surprised BTC was created by the ruling elite.
I get it that Bitcoin can be frustrating sometimes and not knowing what is happening with our transaction is freaky. I read there's a way to add some fees to an ongoing transaction to speed it up if it hasn't been accepted yet but I can't help you much on that other than I know it's possible in some instance.
