Citizens of ETH country have not noticed that fees have gone up, because citizens of ETH country don't measure things in USD, they measure them in ETH. Business as usual. It is only the outsiders looking in that see a problem. They are simply jealous that they never capitalized on those massive gains when they should have. Oops! The problem isn't with ETH, it's with our own mindsets (scarcity over abundance).
What an interesting and amazing words of wisdom...kudos to you sir @edicted
