I read the news somewhere on twitter then I checked reddit for more of info, it was hard to believe and frankly I didn't. I told myself I had to see it for myself, and so I did.
I logged into Coins.ph (our local bitcoin exchange) and tried transferring a modest amount of bitcoin and behold.
So it was true, transaction fees are super cheap now and this opened up a lot of debates in reddit regarding the forks like Bitcoin Cash. I don't have an expert's knowledge with the technology so I'll stay out of those debates but if this kind of transaction fee holds for a long time then sending bitcoin here and there won't be a pain in your wallet anymore.
