I want to know if it is possible because then I need to exit before fees are higher than my balance.  |

No one can tell you with certainty, it is a free market.
But with implementation of segwit and LN fees should lower in upcoming months.

If the price of bitcoin rises then sure the price of transaction also increases,as long as there is network congestion there is no way getting around that unless the lightning network is activated and i am sure that they will implement it before crossing the thousand dollar transaction fees.  we are now paying around fifty dollars on an average and to reach thousand dollars it will take some time.  |

This is also my dilemma, the very high transaction fees. Sometimes the fee is even higher than the amount to be transferred. And so I will be left with no choice but to leave my bitcoin earnings in my wallet. I hope the fees will be lower.

The bitcoin fee will increase by the bitcoin value. This really brings a lot of difficulties for small investors with no big deal. Transaction fees are largely due to commercial and miner sites, so I think that commercial sites should have a policy of attracting investors by reducing transaction fees rather than continually increasing current ones. an unwise decision in the long run.

No, there is this new lightening nertwork with instant transfers and zero fee. It is only a question of time until something is offered to solve the high fees, because honestly otherwise I also have to leave bitcoin because I usually send smaller amounts and it asked for $15 fee last time. Funny, I still do not know how the fee is calculated? Is it a fixed fee or depends on the amount someone sends?

No, the size of average payments will not allow it to be done. And when the lightning network starts, the problem will fall off by itself.

With the implementation of segwit? it is almost implemented on all the wallets, it is not implemented on the shitty exchanges who do not care a fuck and they only want to make as much profit as they can. No one can tell you with certainty, it is a free market.
But with implementation of segwit and LN fees should lower in upcoming months.
It is being tested at the moment, and no one knows when is it going to be in here, on the main blockchain, but it is going to be extremely fast and the fees are going to be very cheap.. When will lightning network be introduced? Less than $0,01 worth of bitcoins for a single transaction, i am in love with the lightning network. |

I probably have the worst wallet in the world at this point--Mycelium. Any wallet that doesn't allow you to choose exactly what you want for a fee is useless when the *minimum* fee is $45 for a $150 transaction. My bitcoin is effectively frozen, and I think I'm going to abandon Mycelium after this.

The miners will be hoping it does and mining could become very stable income for just for the fees alone. It shouldn't do especially if the lightning network is introduced successfully.

What is this, FUD? Fees already dropped like a rock before you posted this, except maybe on exchanges that get kickbacks from miners from systematically overcharging their users TX fees.
|
Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

Fudders gonna fud, I guess...
I just created a transaction for $100 BTC between addresses to test the current fee structure for myself. My friend just told me that he sent a "Standard" transaction on Blockchain's web wallet yesterday, and upon viewing his txid, it shows a dozen confirmations... The best part? His fees were only 96 sat/byte. I set a custom fee of 240 sat/byte, and I had my 3 confirmations within an hour.
The fees are dictated by miners, yes, but ultimately, the users are the ones who choose to pay higher fees in order for their transactions to get included in a block first. I think more and more new users are finally learning about transaction fees, and realizing that they don't have to send ridiculous fees... Or it's just costing them an arm and a leg to continue creating transactions with such high fees.
Stop fudding. Yes, $7 in fees for a $100 transaction is still high, but it's not nearly as bad as it was a week ago.

The fees are getting lower now so and I believe it will continue to drop down and bitcoin will soar higher again. We can really tell what will happen in the future, but if you believe on the power of bitcoin you will surely enjoy the benefit of it in the future. |

Going to thousands of dollars? Came on mate, they are never going to be as high as those.
And the fees have always been in BTC since the beggining. But bitcoin needs to be over 20million dollars in order to have a fee of $1000 at least.
And if the lightning network gets implemented, forget about it, because it is going to get implemented soon and we are going to see those fees of 1 cent each soon.
Just stop being pesimist about it, the fees are always going to recover and it is just matter of time until it does it.

That would be possible, since we're not already on the day where the price of a Bitcoin can only buy a sliced of pizza so it was almost zero fees of transaction on that time. Now the price of Bitcoin can buy a sliced of Gold bar.. in addition, the difficulty level also keeps increasing by time, plus network congestion due massive transactions every seconds. But we hope for the good ongoing improvement from lowering the fees.

It is obvious that if the price of bitcoin continues to grow exponentially and large capitals continue to enter the ecosystem massively without a substantial solution to the current problems, fees will tend to continue growing in an exorbitant way. But there are certain hopes for the implementation of new alternatives that have emerged recently, just need to reach consensus to adapt massively and reduce costs.

In theory we should get closer to a spot where things cost less and transactions don't cost more but here we are 6 months later after Segwit and adoption is minimal. Can you tell me why people complain about fees yet a small % have adopted Segwit addresses? That doesn't make sense to me and as for Lightning Network not terribly excited anymore I recently found out that it isn't a decentralized network ie that is not good imo.
