RE: Will Bitcoin value continue to go up?
Yes exactly. That is what HODLers want. We all want to become rich this way. And let's face it... bitcoin will not become the main cryptocurrency that we will all collectively use to buy our everyday products in supermarkets etc. The chain is too slow and fees are too high (although they're working on improving that). BitcoinCash is already a better alternative as a bunch of others.
Let's say they lower the fees and more people start to use it. Wouldn't a higher number of transactions attract more miners making the chain faster?
Don't they need to have more miners first in order to speed up the transactions and lower the fees?
In order for it to be used in the real world they need to do something about transaction speed first. It's impossible to buy something with it in a supermarket.
Good news is that they now have segwit2 which makes the lightning network possible so perhaps we will see it happen.
