11 cent is 0.00003064BTC when price is $3,590. Consider the price $20k, more hash difficulties more more btc as payment fees. Multiply that with the rate $20k. This was what happened when bitcoin had it's ATH. In dollar currency people even paid more than $10 for transactions.

If you extrapolate the same 0.00003064 to $20,000 that's still only $0.61. A lot has changed between now and a year ago to help keep tx fees down, in terms of satoshis. The last time fees were this low was 2 years ago, when the price of BTC was about $390.

If the price spike up like it did for the ATH the this plain equation is not gonna work. Sure it will be a lot more in terms of dollar. Anyway, my point is that... We are in a forum where we are suppose to support bitcoin. Everything we do to promote bitcoin but when a character like theymos indirectly publicly vouch for something else then it will create a mess for sure.

I could not agree more with this user...

This is what we call indirect endorsement. Just wait for the cryptonews media to handle the rest publicity. Very soon you'll see news likes

Cryptocurrencies biggest and oldest forum "bitcointalk" co-founded by satoshi himself accepts GRIN as a means of payment

and the so called crypto-experts on twitter and YouTube will add to the hype by adding it to their top altcoin to watchout for in 2019. Some might even say GRIN is the new BITCOIN Grin

. although If I was a part of this project the news above (grins added as means of payment on bitcointalk) will be advertise on grin site. This wasn't the intention of theymos although when a forum like bitcointalk accepts you as a means of payment it's an indirect endorsement sending signals to potential investors that the project is a go for...

Once this Bcash guys will discover this they will take it to another level.

By the time the friday price increase comes, you might buy a membership with a few cents

Blow me I should have seen this before. I just paid for my copper membership in BTC LOL.

Hey, I believe we should only have BTC as payment method. We are Bitcoiner guys. Is n't it should be the whole point?
