Bitpay/Blocktrades now only charging $10 to convert $120 worth of s...

It's getting really really cheap to convert steem over to Bitcoin and then Bitcoin over to US dollars on our Bitpay Cards here in USA and any other nation those work. If you are going to use this service I would recommend just finding out your budget for the whole month and doing one big top up, instead of doing 10 different $100 top ups an paying for each BTC tx fee just do one big $1000 top up and save on the fees... But because Bitcoin price has gone down the BTC tx fees are really cheap now, around $5, and that is going to go DOWN because COINBASE is about to enable SEGWIT wallets, like the ledger nano already does, when Hive account@btcvenom and I use our ldger nano they are only a few bucks and take a few minutes, and when Coinbase adds this segwit or segregated Witness we will see ALL bitcoin fees DROP oh yeah, its going to make the FUD people go liek whuuuuuut.... Bitcoin is CHEAP again? yeah and its going to help ALL crypto!

The Transactions LOOk like they are going down but it is only because of BATCHING doing multiple transactions in ONE BIG transaction, the total number or users making actual transactions is going up and people are using Bitcoin more than ever and the fees are lower than ever for this much activity and segwit NOR lightening network hasn't really even started yet on a large scale level!

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/7w2n64/only_4500_unconfirmed_transactions/
This reddit post from reddit.com/r/bitcoin shows only 4500 unconfirmed transactions for Bitcoin (as of 3 days ago) compared to just a few months ago being over 100,000.... so as we can see, Bitcoin is doing fine even before we start seeing Coinbase activated segwit and knock fees down even lower AND THEN lightening network will happen and fees will almost disapear! We will even have NEGATIVE fees where you will get PAID to HOLD bitcoin so there will be HUGE incentive to just HOLD bitcoin and services will come out that offer STEADY rates of profit without the risk of loosing any money during a Bitcoin Crash... what I mean is that Tether will be used and people will get a chance to make guaranteed profit with no loss if they volunteer to forfeit any potential massive gains from Bitcoin....

These new incentives to use Bitcoin and lower fees combined with Lightening Network's 'streaming money" and negative fees where you get paid to just hold Bitcoin and have people route their transactions through you, will bring a new incentive to HOLD Bitcoin WITHOUT any risk just to MAKE extra money, something a regular bank account could never do. So people won't be able to say no to holding Bitcoin just like Tesla and Edison and Westinghouse made it impossible to refuse buying electricity or like how the 90s made it impossible to refuse the internet! This is BIGGER than internet and maybe bigger than electricity because now the worlds poor will get a chance to actually be included, technology will be evenly distributed, the future is already here it just isn't widely distributed yet!

Even the city of Berkeley California home of famous UC Berkeley University, is thinking of doing a cryptocurrency ICO, albeit for retarded reasons to rebel against their Trump apointed UC Administrator but whatever, UC Berkely is the CAPITAL of SJW crazy leftists so its fine.

Remember these EOS LED trucks in Miami Florida a few months back? I DEMAND we do this for Steem and ZCL/Bitcoin private !

See even Rich the Kid and Kendrick Lamar are promoting EOS in their new music video New Freezer ! They even have a freakin electric car shaped as EOS logo!

And on a side note, South Korean Winter Olympics that no one cared about had some insane Drone Holograms in the sky, I had this idea and posted about it on Steem, along w ith my Sky Writing idea, to have drones in the sky and use them like 3d pixels, now we must do this for the steem and Bitcoin and EOS logos!
