Even if we can resolve this by just voting, the different perspectives shown in this thread work in people minds to enrich their decisions.
I do agree that we need to be profitable as a DAC and fees play an critical role.
I also don't have the scientific proof that if we lower the fees transfers will climb.
(Maybe there is no high amount of transfers because we are not ready (yet) for mainstream users, and bitcoiners don't like us much (yet) )
Having said that $0.2 USD transfer fees make some project unviable.
Im pushing Bitshares for a joint effort of two NGOs and the local crypto community which one the objectives is to provide entrepreneurs from marginal economies with a way to use digital cash. (Its a bigger project ex-Worldbank, ex-UN people working on it)
Basically they will be moving an IOU, but $3.2 ARS is too much for the average size of that transactions. ($30-$50) One of the founders of
http://www.rootstock.io/ is heavily involved in the project also, so that platform is on the table also even if its on alpha stage.
Another issue is the order placement fee in the DEX, but i read that with lifetime subscription the fees goes down to something like 2 BTS? So that will be fine to bootstrap the DEX.
