A little bit of shocker when I read the message today. Ofcourse it was already planned ahead but I just completely forgot about the first year mark........
The 50% rebate actually was quite helpful for day trading. Of course I don't do it (too stressful for my nerves) but I have experimented. For lower value coins you could actually make profit just by selling it at 1 satoshi higher from its buy value.
I been using fee free exchanges, they are not bad hell i tried out Fcoin it actually not that bad.
