BTC txns - Increasing cost, decreasing QoS!

[indiangrad]

The revenue per BTC transaction for miners is in an upward trend. It has increased 10x in last ~6 months, from ~15$ to ~150$

At the same time, unconfirmed txns are on a rise.

Free market commands that with increasing cost till a certain threshold, at least quality of service (QoS) should increase, not decrease. The optimum threshold is altogether a different question. Else people may switch.

How is the BTC community working towards this?

The core developers are banking on Segwit, which is not being adopted by many, and lightning.
The users that found this unsatisfactory left to Bitcoin Cash and believe that a simple blocksize increase was all that was needed.

The only thing you can do today within BTC, is move your assets to segwit addresses and only do segwit to segwit.  I don't have a practical cost savings from that, but I'm told you save on fees due to the transaction size being smaller.  Does anyone have an example of segwit costs vs non-segwit costs?

Cost is decided as per unit of tx size (byte)

Thus, less size = lest cost
