Sure, and a 40% transaction fee reduction sounds great in theory, but with a median fee of ~$28.58 (https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/ https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/) it will still inarguably leave BTC at a significant disadvantage compared to virtually every other available payment option. Mind you, this calculation is done at current prices and network congestion; the numbers can only be expected to increase assuming further adoption. Not viable.
