Lightning is supposed to reduce transaction fees whenever it finally gets released.

Well, that doesn't make the problem that's been snowballing since the last year go away. It is really hurting the adoption of Bitcoin. I usually use it for small transactions <$10 for situations where I don't want to give out my personal billing details.

If this continues for another year, I'll have to say bitcoin has severely failed to follow up on the promises it made, one of which is low transaction fees. Not >5%
