I would keep most of my money in alts--indeed, with the bit of crypto that I have left, I'm planning to re-diversify into alts and avoid BTC altogether.

Consider that the TX fee correlates strongly with price--if you see 50% price increase, you can expect a similar increase with TX fees. The insane TX fees are already pushing people away...what's gonna happen if they double?

It seems to me that TX fees are placing an unintended natural cap on what the price can be.
Not just the fees, but the time it takes to make transfers.
