It is possible that the higher fees we're experiencing right now is because of the miners probably taking a vacation due to holiday season, another reason is that there could be some group of people trying to sabotage the network. Bitcoin is currently moving sideways because people tend to buy it now then convert it to altcoins. Once the implementation of lightning network takes place, it will be another wild ride to the moon.

Higher fees tends to constant increase in bitcoins price and its trendiness. We all know that bitcoin is growing significantly right now and we cant deny that almost every person is greed to earn bitcoin and so the fees are so high. I think the fees we paid for is what the miner gets.

As of right now, it seems that Bitcoin’s biggest benefit is as a store of value because of the fees and transaction times. The fees have gotten so high that I think people are reluctant to use Bitcoin as a method of payment. My understanding is that there are some improvements in the works that will address the issue of high fees and slow transactions for Bitcoin. But for now, it seems that the name recognition of Bitcoin is enough to keep it as a valuable commodity to hold as a store of value

Commissions for Bitcoin transactions are now really very high, and many people criticize him for it right now. However, the network of lightning has already been successfully tested, which somewhere from New Year the developers are going to introduce into bitcoin and so soon such shortage of bitcoin should be lost. At the same time, bitcoin will become very fast, since it will no longer be necessary to wait for confirmation of the transaction and it will be possible to transfer small amounts at which transactions will use commission less than one dollar. Therefore, this problem must soon be resolved.

It is even same with VISA cards, they charge quite a good amount of dollars as transaction fees. So blaming bitcoin alone is kinda pointless. Anyways bitcoins high fees can be quite troublesome sometimes but like for smaller transactions that kind of fees is quite high compared to when the transaction is of a big amount.Due to  Bitcoins high fees people have started moving towards altcoins as well. Maybe the fees will go down in the future.

There is a big future of bitcoin to this high fees  now, that bitcoin will be a famous currency to all the world. As bitcoin now is very expensive people are curious now to bitcoin that maybe the world will go to a cashless society because people will look for the value of bitcoin that is worth it. The future of bitcoin is based on its price, that bitcoin now is very expensive and interesting and so many are attracted to bitcoin now. Everyone is about to focus now to have bitcoin. That for only 1bitcoin is equivalent to 1million.

Bitcoin price will be correct in 2018 because huge increase of price happen last month ago. Maybe the development of bitcoin have solution to change our future in the world of crytocurrencies.

We are facing this problem of high charges for long time now and honestly it has not affected bitcoin in anyway. As far as the price of Bitcoin is rising and investors are earning huge profit out of it, there is no way that Bitcoin is going to die.

Keeping this thing in mind that there are high fee and timing issues, people still want to have Bitcoin in their wallets and as you said this problem will be solved one day.

I see this high fees as a debacle to the growth of bitcoin because it is going to give some altcoins the opportunity to rise. Investors would seriously start searching for alternative coin to transact with and they are already doing that with litecoin and ethereum.
