Not sure how many people noticed but the cost of sending BitCoin has dropped significantly of late. One of the biggest complaints about BitCoin vs altcoins is the speed in the cost. Lightning is supposed to solve the speed issue and it appears that the cost issue isn't so much of a problem these days.
The average cost was about $26 but now it's down to about $3.
My question is what effect do you think this will have on altcoins? In my view, this makes BitCoin more attractive. And secondly, does anyone believe this is a long-term change (the drop in price) or is this merely temporary?
I do not see bitcoin drastically falling down. What am I seeing is a sort of an up and down of price. By that this is severely a maintenance for them. By that, losing its price is a bit hurtful for a while but later on we'll see how worth it would it be.
