https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ currently recommends around $0.17 per transaction.

  That's a lot more then I though, is that even reasonable? With today's digitalization even stock trading is commonly available at $0.1 in courtage fee, is it really feasible bitcoin to use double that if broad adoption is appreciated? Or is that not a prioritized goal? What stance does the bitcoin foundation take or whichever is the highest authority talking on behalf of the community?

    > What stance does the bitcoin foundation take or whichever is the highest authority talking on behalf of the community? From what I undertand, it's not a goal for Bitcoin Core (lead dev team for the official client). They want to make Bitcoin a "settlement layer" that serves as a foundation for other things to be built on top of. Lightning network[1] would be the layer built on top that supports microtransactions. There are others who believe that Bitcoin should be able to scale to support microtransactions and other features itself. There's a very large controversy in the community over this.
