Inveestors never be turned off in bitcoin. Above all the cryptocurrency, bitcoin can survive the possible turn down of market. It has many market players and it would not easily shut down because it has no development. Maybe, we can expect future developments for it. As a matter of fact, it will be good if bitcoin lowered its transaction fee. Lightning Network will surely solve the issue concerning about the fee and networks. As of now, let us all trust bitcoin.

I never used to worry about the transaction taking long, because about 90% of the Bitcoin transaction I do are to people who are living abroad and if I used other methods it would take longer (PayPal would have been fast I guess, but I don't use it because they don't fully function here). The time I started having problem with Bitcoin was when the fees started to gradually increase, none of us wants that, they should fix the issue.

As for the lightening network, I think it's not something we as individuals can use whenever we want, the wallets or exchange we are using has to be offering that feature before we can use it; I can remember that I once installed a random wallet and I was asked whether to activate the lightning network feature or not, but the wallet warned that it was still in development. Sometimes I wonder if the devs are serious or they are waiting for Satoshi to come back and tell them what to do?

I don't really care about that. Once you hold long enough and your profit gets big you stop caring about the little things like a fee in USD going from $10 to $20. Each of the coins that I hold is worth more than $10k over the price that I paid for them and the cost of sending them to another address is maybe $10. To me it's a joke, but I realize that the entry level will continue to rise. In 2010 you could simply get a bitcoin for free. In 2016 you could buy it for $200 and send it for $1. Now you have to pay $15k and we're on the way to paying $10 for sending it. It's becoming a safety fund for people who already have money, unreachable for a poor worker who earns $1 per hour in India or something.

That's never gonna happen folk. Bitcoin will never ever shut down. Unless humanity has extinct. That's the only way for Bitcoin to
close its doors. The only reason why Paypal announced the lag from bitcoin is to set proper expectations. Bitcoin is the pioneering cryptocurrency so any lags are always considerable.

Besides, bitcoin is not meant a payment as of now. It is an investment that you can hold for the long term. Holders consider bitcoin as a safe haven. So, there is no reason bitcoin will shut down or turn off.

But what I understand about crypto market is that some news help the market in gaining more traffic and with crypto lover long wait for giant payment company like Paypal to integrate Bitcoin which now happen, we cant say paypal is not one of the reason behind the transaction congestion.

Whatever caused it, I believe it's a genuine problem that requires a solution. I understand that there are various suggestions and projects trying to do something about it, but the solution that merely exists is useless. We need something that can become popular and be attractive for retailers and for people who will not be able (or bother) diving into the specifics. It must be user-friendly, simple and truly helpful with scalability, but it should also not have huge trade-offs (which, I believe, prevent the LN from being this great solution).

it's a nightmare that will happen if it is not fixed.  in the future there will be many companies or payment applications that will accept bitcoin, but if this problem is not resolved then bitcoin will be blocked, and after that bitcoin will experience a very deep price drop.
if in the future there is a crypto currency that has more functions than bitcoin and very fast transactions, bitcoin will be replaced by that coin.

1st point
There's no BTC team working out on the delays of transactions. There's a possibility for this technology to be banned, and there are already countries wherein it is. And the reasons are not because of issues regarding transactions but because of lack of taxation, and some reasons are "involvement" with illegal activities or maybe because they are threatened;they have their own reason. IMO this technology will receive full acceptance once regulation occurred.

2nd point
Ethereum I think is next to Bitcoin and not lite coin. Cryptos which will be more accepted in the aspect of scope of usage are probably fiat based because it will be more supported by the governments.

Bitcoin has its updates also always, and hoping that this concern can be address. Maybe some people, will be temporarily turn off or lie low for a while regarding the outcome but in the long run,  bitcoin is still cannot be ignored. This problem is I think temporary and finally in the future it will be completely diminish and solved.

When so much money is in the game, solutions will appear, don't worry about it. You think investment funds or companies who hold large positions in Bitcoin haven't made an extensive research on the future of cryptocurrencies? They are probably funding developers and startup companies who work on implementing solutions on top of the Bitcoin blockchain.

Let's not forget we're in the era of innovation and rapid advancement.
