Seems Monero lowest fee just reduced by 5 times and are now 0.004 XMR or $0.081 what is 3 times less then Bitcoin with the difference that Monero transactions have no delays.
Defiantly an upside. I used to hate the high transaction fees for Monero, but right now they seem better that Bitcoins transaction fees. Then again, I do consider Bitcoins fees to be way to high.
