I have been using bitcoin for well over 10 years...and even recently, I usually paid a very little fee for a transaction using bitpay or similar wallets. But today I was about to make 3 different transactions to 3 different and separate companies, with a value of $40, $60 and $220 and each fee was around $20, which is absolutely crazy, especially on the smaller transactions. Few weeks ago it would have been around $1-2. What the hell is up? Even from bitpay to bitpay, they want to add a $20 transaction fee, wtf!
 
I opened the same thread a while ago, there's a cryptocurrency section here, I suggest you check it out!
 
This topic is really relevant for many, because the commissions from have not yet grown.
 
It is mainly because of the recent meme coin ordinals inscribed on the Bitcoin network; over 400k+ transactions were pending.

I think it will be the same for some more time. Ethereum was even worse in the last few weeks.
 
yes this weeks BTC transaction fees is very high, same as eth fees from few weeks ago, always Use Litecoin
 
yes, they being rising a lot lately, but there are times when they decrease try to make transactions out of the peak hours of btc transactions, you will have to check through the day or night when is at it's lowest.

Man its crazy.You need to pay a $20 fee even on a $10 transaction otherwise you need to wait several days to get your transaction confirmed.These crazy BRC meme coins are putting a lot of stress on the bitcoin network and driving the transaction fees to insane high levels.

Hey there! Just wanted to give you a heads up that the transaction fees for BTC this week are pretty steep. It's similar to what we saw with ETH fees a few weeks back. If you're looking for a more cost-effective option, you might want to consider using Litecoin instead. Hope that helps!
 
dont use shit BTC , use TRON network coins, they are soo good and fast as Fu*k
Lol, you should seriously consider looking into who is behind tron, the team is super shady. I do agree it’s fast and fees are low.
 
Been this way for like a week now at least. I paid $7.50 USD on a $25 USD deposit yesterday and I was using the "normal" fee, not priority.
