I payed $20 for a BTC transaction 2 hours ago, still 0 confirmations

Bitcoin transaction fees have been and are currently still so garbage right now, this is the reason why another coin will eventually overtake it I think.

It's like a DDOS attack, funny how decentralized technology is not immuned to the same issues than centralized tech

Now it is very visually shown as the blockchain of bitcoin depends on miners. It is very dangerous precedent which speaks about an opportunity to affect market bitcoin, manipulating rather large number hash capacity. I consider, it is lack of code of bitcoin which needs to be eliminated in the nearest future. So far didn't use it in the purposes, pernicious for bitcoin.

I payed $20 for a BTC transaction 2 hours ago, still 0 confirmations.. how long do you reckon it could take ?

welcome to the club bro. this is gonna be like this for a minute, you may want to look at other blockchains in the meanwhile if you need to send funds with any quickness. I sent a decently fee'd transaction to hitBTC literally yesterday, it took going to bed and waking up + 6 hours for it to get a single confirm. you can attribute this to all this BCH craziness going down; suffice it to say market conditions are being used to the best advantage at the moment. 

you could still be looking at a 24+ hour conf, it just really depends how congested it is right now (or how the hashpower fluctuations are wrecking havoc on network fidelity).

this is greed.
