Bitcoin Miner's Fees will kill the BTC platform quicker than anything else...

I saw a $30 Fee WARNING on Blocktrades earlier tonight, Here's a screenshot...

Plus I did capture a $16.72 fee, on moving $128 U$D with the BTC system on coinbase. SLOW is one thing, it hampers BTC transactions a lot. I am a patient man, so that is not a deal breaker for me. A couple of hours is no biggie, maybe a day as long as I'm getting confirmations. OVER 10% for smaller moves is down right stupid, I know these miners are "fleecing the sheep" as mining returns were only about 50% over electricity costs. BTC was supposed to be so cheap it was darn near FREE, as compared to the ACH and credit card companies charging 3%. I mean 3% would be a right awesome fee if we had maybe 2 hour completed transactions, but SLOWER and MORE EXPENSIVE will not cut the mustard! It is far better to sell BTC, pay a fee and buy LTC then transfer. Do it all the time now! ;) Screw the BTC miners, they were so dumb that Bitcoin Ca$h arose from a hardfork. The BCH people even "cloned" your BTC if you had any at that time, but stupid me, I listened to the "experts" and sold all my BTC and missed out on the BCH freebies. I do stupid sh!t all the time, just ask my friends :P But that one was calculated, good common sense. Or so I thought. Here's my screenshot proof of the almost $17 fees they are charging RIGHT NOW. Greedy Ba$tard$ anyway.

I hope they choke on it, and soon, I am going to keep a little in BTC as a store of value until it appears something else can supplant it. I have made almost all good moves in 2017, let's keep that rolling all the way thru 2018, one year at a time, Baby! ONE TRADE AT A TIME! Just like Hillary in the commodities, 7 consecutive trades, All WINNERS, Turned $1,000 or so into $100,000. She also "won" 6 consecutive coin flips in the 2016 Iowa Caucuses, which is only a 1.6% chance of happening. She took Iowa over "The BERN", but just barely. Losing just one coin flip, TOAST. I oughta be able to do that too! 6 or 7 or EIGHT Consecutive Winning Trades! Voila!

Thanks for reading, I really needed to vent on BTC. Sorry, Old Hill, you were just a relevant reference, hope I can mirror your success, but not like the general election. ;)
