There is def a symbiotic relationship between BTC and Alts, but the fees that were almost, "unnoticeable" before are now becoming really significant. My portfolio is large enough to absorb those fees, but 50k here and 100k there, adds up. Take for instance Cryptonator; whom used to charge 10,000 satoshi now charges 50,000 to send BTC. Coinbase just charged me 80 or 90k satoshis to send the BTC I just purchased from them. I might sound like a tight wad, but I have put a lot of time, cash and effort into hording and trading Cryptos and have never cashed out a dime, I truly believe Crypto will be the money of the future.

Didn't mean to rant, just blowin off some STEEM ;)
