In my humble opinion, the continual rise in the fees for using BTC (and the delays in transaction times) is the exact reason why low cost crypto such as: BItShares, Steem and the like will prosper.
The argument for BItShares, Steem etc. Is strengthened by the fact in 3 seconds your transaction in most cases is completed. In my experience, BTC can take hours if not days.
Finally, if you check who is dominating the total transactions on the blockchain, it is the same two culprits....BitShares and STEEM. How good is that for a perfect storm to invest?
Wishing you all love, love, love.
