i recently looked up out of interest what i payed back in the day in Fees.
Its insane how much the fees increased.
2016-02-09 58$: 26 cents Fees.
2017-06-19 50$: 1.91$ Fees.
I hate it everyday when i pay with bitcoins. Bitcoin turns into Fiat Fees.
The Fees completly destroyed luckyb.it/ for example. They needed to make it a High rolling game.
Honestly, Bitcoin was not meant to be a digital currency for daily usage, but rather meant for an
investment. I agree that the fees have gone up so high that faucets are not worth, and small donations/transactions are wasted due to fees.
If you are not in a hurry and you can customize your fees (if you are using a bitcoin client), then you can choose to
minimize your fees if you are not in a hurry. However if you set too low fees, it may not go through. Check this thread below.
