Why so many people think that 0.85$ is such a ridiculous fee?
After all, you need to remember that when you use banking system, maybe you dont really have to pay big commision ( usually, it is so low that you cannot even spot it ) but the transfer is going to be made during the regular work day, not in time of the weekend.
Blockchain works pretty much 24/7 thanks to decentralization, and also because there are thousands of miners who are willing to confirm the transaction: for their own profit.
And this is why I think you cannot tell that this kind of fee is so expensive, after all someone has to get some income from confirming those transactions, where mining is currently something really hard to make yourself profitable on.
It must be interesting for all parts, and if there are many people complaining about the fees prices, it's not being good for all... People are here to avoid paying high fees for banks to make transactions, especially online transactions, so it's worthless to have the same or similar service here that you have at banks. The real problem is that fees don't stop increasing, even worse.
