Fees are still way too damn high! I remember fees well under $1 for years!! I cannot and will not recommend BTC to anyone anymore until fees get sub $1 again. What if Visa charged you $4.72 to buy a pack of gum at the gas station? Think anyone would use it? This is the fate of BTC until we can back to competing with the Visa as far as fees go. I love Bitcoin always have always will. I used to go around every day trying to get merchants to adopt it. How can I recommend it to them now??
