Thanks for sharing your research on Bitcoin and Blockchain. You’re right, the fees are too expensive for people to use Bitcoin for small purchases. I’ve had many (spam) requests from people on #pinterest to lend them some Bitcoin because they have to repair their watch or buy something. No way that anyone going to lend another stranger some Bitcoin. Especially when the price has gone up so much!

This is where ALT cryptocurrencies can help. There are some which do not charge any fees for transactions.
