Anyone else have gamepass int . ? Get that stupid Madden commercial . Stupid fucking commercial is super loud . Like window rattling loud . <| sep |> Champagne and first world problems . People in India are willing to pay 2040 % premiums on the spot price of bitcoins but people in the first world are complaining about fees ranging from 7 to 15 penny averages . Meanwhile outside investors think that some bitcoiners that are complaining about competition in a fee market and high fees are crazy In particular , a specific complaint that we ' ve heard is that transaction fees are rising . Not only do we not see rising transaction fees as concerning , we ' re actually encouraged by the overall trend . It ' s dumbfounding when we hear rising transaction fees cited as evidence that Bitcoin is in some way failing . Ask any investor what they think about a situation where a product or service sees increasing amounts of demand as the price for using that product or service rises . This is the type of problem that we all hope for , especially considering that these rising transaction fees directly contribute to the security of the Bitcoin network which further increases its appeal . So that ' s our take . Spencer Bogart Equity Analyst , Needham CompanyBitcoin Quarterly Update Call November 15 , 2016
