Until last week,we all had been enjoying bitcoin transactions getting confirmed with very low transaction fee.If i'm not wrong,the fee went low to even 4 satoshis/byte.But now,once again the total number of unconfirmed transactions have seem to increase from 2000 to almost 20,000 now.
Hope that very soon,once again it would return back to very low fee.
It's high time to arrange the old legacy addresses and move the coins to segwit enabled addresses (e.g. to combine the dust into a new segwit address). We can't be sure when will be the next period with such a low fees in the future, so it's time to act before the mempool fills up again (it doesn't matter what is the reason why the mempool fills, active transactions, spam, etc...). If you will have your coins on segwit enabled address, you'll have lower fees compared to legacy addresses.
This is needed for now, because LN in not around the corner yet...
