This is where that whole "blocksize debate" turns out to have been worth discussing.

A sudden increase in demand for BTC will send the fees through the roof because of it's tiny 1mb blocksize. The same increase in demand will result in ~ 1/32 the increase in fees. This is due to BCH's 32mb block size.

BCH fees would stay this low even with 30x Bitcoins transaction volume.
