Whatever wallet software you are using is either broken or outdated. The transaction fee attached to your transaction is extremely low, only ~5 satoshis/byte, the current recommended fee is ~200 satoshis/byte according to http://bitcoinfees.21.co/. It is extremely unlikely for your transaction to confirm any time soon. Read: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1802212.0 for information about what you can do. Note that the ViaBTC accelerator will not accept your transaction because its fee is too low (must be at least 10 satoshis/byte).

It will take some time to confirm maybe hours but miners will pick it up in next 24 hours don't worry. I get my transaction stuck for 48 hours to confirm.

If you want to boost the speed of the transaction you can do this with the Viabit tx accelerator: https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/

But you should always give an appropriate fee, this tool is like only for mistakes  ;)

That won't work for his transaction. It only has a 0.00005553 BTC/KB fee, whereas the viabtc accelerator requires a minimum 0.0001BTC/KB fee for any transaction it accelerates.

So basically I can just wait and hope that some miner picks it up?

Achow101 posted a link to a thread that explains your options, and pointed out the transaction's fee is too low for the ViaBTC accelerator.

There are 80,000 unconfirmed transactions today, when 5,000 is normal.

You can wait a long time and hope a miner picks it up, or the network forgets about it. You can offer to pay a pool to include it in a block, or you can try to double spend your transaction with a higher fee. See the thread linked above for more detail about those options.
