...will Bitcoin fall from it's #1 spot in the incoming bull run?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whenever I look on the charts from let's say past month for:
It's visible that whenever there is a slightest spike 3-10% in price, the fee raises from ~5 sat/b to around ~70 sat/b (14x the usual). Most of the current blocks are filled to the top with transactions. What do you think will happen when we start seeing 15% or 20% price spikes?
It is clear that Bitcoin has reached its limit in 2017 and almost nothing has been done since then. There is an argument about segwit allowing for 2MB blocks. The reality is that the 2MB blocks are very, VERY rare and it's clearly not enough to satisfy Bitcoin in the incoming bull run.

Bitcoin lightning? It is good for some crypto geeks however an average Joe will not know how to setup the lightning channel. At the current state the user experience is just so bad. I can't think about BTCLN succeeding on the global scale.
I can agree about Bitcoin being digital gold however it is not ready for the every day use. I have a strong feeling the whole cryptocurrency community will flip on its head in 2021. For the first time in history we will be seeing Bitcoin on #3 or even #4 spot.
There is so much wasted potential in Bitcoin.

Final words: Nothing is perfect, I know that. That's why we have a such variety in the altcoin's market with every new project trying to be better than its predecessor. It's all about improvement.
