Call me crazy or dumb...but I am starting to have a desire of shorting BTC at these levels...
Shorting bitcoin is kind of like choosing to play russian roulette. Sure it is possible to "win" but is it really that good of an idea to play at all.

Fees are getting stupid. Just paid about 5 bucks for a transfer, as suggested by my wallet.
Wallet software fail probably. First block inclusion is at around 1.2$ right now. https://bitcoinfees.21.co/The fastest and cheapest transaction fee is currently 270 satoshis/byte, shown in green at the top. For the median transaction size of 226 bytes, this results in a fee of 61,020 satoshis.

I had to put 2mbtc of fee to have the software let me process the transaction. It's a bit absurd to pay about 4$ of fees everytime you want to make a transaction ><

Got another transfer with about a bucks worth of fees that has been stuck for a few days now. It's absurd.
Yes, and exactly this was promised a year ago at least. Get out of here with your bullshit promise assertion. bitcoin is decentralized.. who the fuck is going to promise?

Slightly too late. There is a beautiful correction starting right now. I'd say we'll pass the 2k then it's time to long again. The rise won't be stopped

I assume that different wallets connect to different pools so maybe that could make a difference, but nonetheless this is the current reality.

It was probably oversized tx in terms of bytes (like 2-3 inputs) so the fee per byte was lower (hence lower priority).

Sold my btc when I saw that. Don't know what's happening and don't care. But this shit is really too messy I'm half out  Anyway if it's really like the moon half btc will be enough to get a retirement, and if it's dumping too hard I'm buying back at 1900

It's not much to do with what fees you pay in total but what fees you pay per byte. Still, it's not like everyone can expect to be paying the same amount they receive all the time. Imagine a future reality in which you can choose to deal in Bitcoin for most things - what would happen to people like convenience store merchants who accept a lot of small payments? They'd have to exchange their Bitcoin to fiat all the time.

They, like, totally so not hot right now.

Though I doubt anyone can really enter the btc world thinking it's "cheap coins" right now. The price is completely crazy compared to its history ^^
