How does the rising transaction fees on the BTC network effect these people? I could easily see a scenario soon where both 1 and 2 might have to pay 50% of the money they are trying to save in fees to the network.

I mean a transaction today can cost $3-4 USD. With valuation rising, and the network automatically paying out less per block, we could soon see a flooded network that is asking for $10-15 for a transaction. Is this an impediment from it becoming a large scale value store?
