Uhm.. This is still on the high side of fees. As you said: "Fees are high everywhere in crypto"... but still. Steem has a potential to get rid of that all together.
Maybe if @blocktrades figured out how to do what Netcoins is doing and eliminated fees, financing themselves through cross blockchain token exchange only.
That could make Steem the preferred crypto gateway by far.... and thats a huge step towards mainstream adoption.
why buy Bitcoin when Steem is superior in tech and costs nothing to buy and make purchases with? Might as well keep my money here
