The price of HIVE could go way up!
Perhaps one could argue that with the price of HIVE going up a lot that usage of the blockchain would also go up and fees for using it also going up (even if only during congestion) is not a problem, but I don't think that is clear. They're not necessarily tied together.
We could use HBD to pay the fee though, 0.001 USD will likely never be a lot.
