Earlier in 5-6 years before i adopted bitcoin as a payment system but now i totally stopped using it due to high transaction fees.
few months before i have noted just to sent $100 the transaction fees i was charged $40 or above.
Now i hate btc as payment. I only consider it as invest as said buying in lower price ans sell it when price is higher.
I do not think the Satoshi value is high it is the USD value that you might be talking about. I am still able to make transfer by paying not more than 12 Satoshi. There are other cryptocurrency which provide cheap fees for transaction only because there USD value is less.
