you don't really need transfer fees, as they are optional. Especially large transactions and coins that have been unspent for a long time are high-priority by default.
But if you really want to be 100% sure of a fast transaction you may include a small fee

Fees are mostly optional, and I don't see that changing in the next 2-3 years.
Maybe things will be different in 20 years.

If you want that address to have exactly 1.00000 then you'll need to spend a total of 1.001.
Where did you get that figure ?
I assume that was a typo, he means 1.0001BTC.
Oops, yes I made a typo.
1BTC is above the relay limit, so you shouldn't even need to include a fee, depending on how recently you received the coins. I've made a few transactions lately with no fee, and it's not too long until it confirms. If it confirms in a few hours, who cares? its going to cold storage!
You could include a fee for when you're redeeming your money in a few years time, for the laugh, so you still have 1 whole bitcoin when you move it.. I wonder how much a tx fee now will be worth then!

I would do it...adding that tiny transaction fee is probably less money than you could find if you lifted the cushions of your couch. There really isn't a reason not to...

You can if it gives you piece of mind. Just make it like 1.0005
I'm printing out my first cold wallet with 1BTC on it to keep long term.I plan to HODL for at least a few years.
Should I add extra to cover a future tx fee? If yes, then what tx fee would you recommend I add?
Thanks.
