The problem with the rising fees is that it prevents people from using bitcoin in their daily lives. Would you buy a coffee for 2.50 $ and pay a fee of 2$ for a transaction?

I think that if bitcoin was to be used as a 'normal' currency, it would contribute to its worth and success even more. The recent development with the fees could be counterproductive for the value of bitcoin, that's my guess

I am relatively new to this, but aren't these rising transaction fees becoming more and more of a problem now that bitcoin becomes more popular?

I mean where will it end, right now it's about 2.60 $ and still takes over an hour to be confirmed. Isn't bitcoin disqualifying itself with that?

I mean the whole point was to make fast and cheap transactions, now the recent development is heading into a completely different direction. As stated above, it's unattractive to use for daily business, small amounts, and even quick transfer.

Hello CoolWave,

I really hope you can help me with my transaction. It was my first transaction and blockchain.info added a fee that is too low by default. I didn't know
