![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Guys you better do something or an altcoin will take over once for good, this is slowly becoming a bad joke, don't care if 1 BTC is $2,000 If you want to move funds to and out an exchange (and want to make sure it's confirmed fast) you pay $16 ! for basically nothing Yeah if I were a whale I wouldn't mind, but I'm not one

They are devs out there; if I knew I would do it myself ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) However the BTC current price is not reflecting reality this way, it's a big bubble!

I guess day is not far away when bitcoin market cap will be beaten by other coins. Present increase in altcoin price is also due to this scalability issue and increased interest towards alts.

Most of these transactions that are slowing down the Bitcoin network is spam. Many transactions are extremely small, the size of the fee itself and this makes us all wait. I've been checking the number of unconfirmed transactions and it was very high on Friday and Saturday, but it's much smaller today.

Its about choosing scaling solution. There are pros and cons of every scaling options out there, this is problem, people argue since years.

That kind of transaction fee is extremely unusual. Based on very rough estimates, that would be a fee of BTC0.00395 at current estimates, which is 395,000 satoshi. As bitcoinfees.21.co says, the median transaction size is 226 bytes, resulting in a fee of 67,800 satoshi with 300 satoshi/byte. You can still get confirmations in less than a day with half of that fee, which would be about 33,900 satoshi, which is about $0.7. You must have had a very large transaction.

I think we should move to the Ethereum network because I find that it is more effective and the fee is more affordable than Bitcoin. Otherwise, you can use exchange wallet because they are all in the priority of the miners so we only need to pay a small fee for every transaction ( about 0.001 Bitcoin

Wow you must have a ton of inputs. I feel sorry for you, rolling your pennies until you can finally get your $100 bill, then you find out you're going to have to ship the pennies across the world. DAMN!

$8 will be too high, and I don't think that users will stick with Bitcoin if the transaction fee becomes this much unaffordable. Greedy miners are destroying the Bitcoin.

I am forced to use altcoins to move between exchanges. It does suck having to do that. It makes things a lot more complicated for normal average people who don't want that hassle. Right now BTC is a hassle and costs $$$ in fees.

I personally don't mind the high fees but the delay is what is really a thing for concern if it won't backfire to hurt bitcoin in the process.

It's a bit too much already and it's not the end. If the block size situation is not resolved the fees will keep getting higher. Fortunately everyone can see it and the pressure is on the devs to do something about it. I'd love to see SegWit implemented as it would resolve the problems we're facing without too much centralization. It might cause a small dump at first as people might be worried how it goes, but eventually we'll have a big comeback and a price pump. Everyone would be happy with faster confirmation times, lower fees and price boost, it would be a win - win situation.
