For much of 2016, fees in total were < 50 BTC/day. Now, they are over 200.
(that's a 4x increase, not even factoring in the increased bitcoin price!)
For the dumbasses who wanted a "fee market", you got it.
It will only get worse from here.
Hint: Unless bandwidth increases, fees will rise to be the same as other alternatives
like paypal,moneygram ,etc, which will destroy the incentive for people
to adopt bitcoin.
