Noob question.

Will #monero ever have as high fees as current #bitcoin?

For example, a current transaction fee in Bitcoin right now is something like $10. So if I am to send $1 with Bitcoin currently I have to pay something like $10 in fees. With Monero it's cents.

Will Monero, if used x10 more, i.e if XMR becomes $35k instead of $150, will it have the same exact fees as Bitcoin?

No, Monero has dynamic blocksize so it can have short term spikes in fees while it adapts, but long term tx fees will always continue falling even if that demand is sustained. Monero will always be very cheap to transact overall.

The same thing cannot be said of Bitcoin. Fixed blocksize and growing demand means fees will continue rising as demand rises and stay that way if the demand is sustained.
