No one should have to pay $25-$50 just to send any amount of money or approve a simple contract. If a bank charged you that amount to open a bank account, then another time to deposit your money, you just wouldn’t use it.
I hope in the coming years that the gas fees will be reduced to a fraction of a cent - kind of like Harmony’s right now at their current transaction load. That, or more developers begin looking at building on networks with lower gas fees as their TVL grows, though none are anywhere close to Ethereum’s at the moment.
How does everyone feel about gas at the moment, and where we will be a year or two later? All the smaller networks are starved for apps, especially games right now :/
