Fees are still high. I don’t think bitcoin is only for early miners who have a lot of bitcoins, and for rich people’s who have a lot of money they both can pay as High fees he wants. We have to focus on whole users wich don’t have *million of bitcoins and can’t handle such a high fees.
I was about to make a transaction today, but surprisingly the transaction fee is too high unlike before. Though I can optimise the fee but I need an instant transaction which will cost me to much. So instead of making transaction I just trade it with XRP, which save me a lot of amount. Bitcoin is not for those who are in a hurry and want to spend large amount of transaction fee.
