Am I the only one realizing that ~$1 fee to make a transaction is absolutely insane and defeats one of the core benefits of using bitcoin for daily transactions.

This is getting insane and is completely uncalled for, or am I wrong?

Well, it's only a couple magnitudes higher fee than visa....and no more than a 100 or so magnitudes slower....The real question in my mind is: how long will it take to realize that there are far more useful platforms to utilize as a means of exchange?  And, will the bitcoin to USD exchange rate be effected by that realization?
