Actually, the Fees have more than doubled in USD.
IPO....... 0.40 @ $190 BTC = $75
Nov 25.. 0.22 @ $800 BTC = $175
Some people will complain about fucking anything... BitCoin culture = GREED personified.
As CEO RS is just doing his job...
The primary job of the CEO is to maintain stock stability and increase value...
I'm happy RS has put a floor under the Fees...
Unlike the idiots at Ripple that allowed XRP to be mercilessly trashed and manipulated.
Except the fees have never been priced in USD, I guess you could distract from the issue by comparing their performance to any other currency. How about Zimbabwe?
If you insist on making USD comparisons, then the issue is very clear, the fees cost 0.4BTC, if you didn't buy them and simply kept your 0.4BTC you would now have $320 instead of $175 so you have lost $145 profit by buying the fees.
There are too many fees in circulation atm. RS needs to buy back about another 5k to get them back to their former glory.
