Fees are getting stupid. Just paid about 5 bucks for a transfer, as suggested by my wallet.
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? |

Call me crazy or dumb...but I am starting to have a desire of shorting BTC at these levels...
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  |

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. Nope. Like I said, got another transfer with a buck attached that has been stuck for days. 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. |

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 ^^ |

It is the same history we've got throughout all those 9 years. Get used to it! |

Call me crazy or dumb...but I am starting to have a desire of shorting BTC at these levels...
Short that ETH shitcoin instead.. I'm not a big fan of that coin either but shorting this now is not a good advise imo! Not yet! Ethereum is backed by lots of big guys from different industries it seems. They all are licking Vitaliks butt as I often see and hear on all those blockchain conferences. So either wait for the trend reversal and try your luck then, with shorting that crap. Or do nothing and just simply ignore it and only focus on our crown, Bitcoin! Nobody knows where this shitcoin bubble will go or how long it will last. Crazy times we are in right now.So act cautiously! |

I'm of the belief that the Altlandia bubble is just another method for the powers that be to distract the Average Joe populous away from Bitcoin. Just another form of Social Engineering for them like the BU FUD debacle (because that's all they have left to work with). Bitcoin scares the shit of of them, they know that Bitcoin truly has merit and value, and that they can't control it like they can with other cryptocurrencies that are not founded on the same principles and can be easily co-opted. |

Short that ETH shitcoin instead.. Good advice, better short ETH, LTC. People who said that this price is good enough to dump are shortsighted. Bitcoin will reach $2500 this year with ease. Scaling solution is coming, selling BTC now before it will go live is plain stupidity. Remember what happened to Litecoin after SegWit was activated - with bitcoin it will be even better show. |

I favour the more elegant explanation. People can make more dollars with alts. They're on pumpier exchanges that would literally pump a mound of dead puppies if you could tokenise them. Alts aren't going away and a few will decouple from Bitcoin's behaviour completely. |
