Is Ethereum Gas Fee a Burden for You?

[john_egbert]

Recent news indicates that Ethereum gas fees have plummeted to historic lows. According to Etherscan, the average mainnet gas fee has fallen to 4 Gwei, about $0.21, with some transactions costing as little as 3 Gwei, around $0.14. Additionally, Layer 2 solutions such as Optimism, Base, Arbitrum, and Linea are seeing transaction fees below $0.01.

Seasonal mate, specially when there is a pumping market then expect that too much high for Ethereum network and that is what I hate when happen.

Are we expecting anytime soon for another gas hype?
Maybe I will be ready when it comes along the way .

The rally for BTC in full force isn't there yet, so only time will tell, you are totally right, in my opinion, too.
Then it would blow the price a bit up

Couple of times that I become a victim of this networks issue of Ethereum and now I learn how to manage not relying in this network specially when. There is some growth in the market and so with that? I am now having multiple currency to use in terms of alt coins and that made me safer transacting when there is a hype like what happened couple of times this year.

Totally really depends on what are the coins that you've been that dealing into because there would really be those  times or moments that you do get some coins on other various sources on which
you might be ending up on dealing with some erc20 on which gas fees is really that high specially if its a coin which does have that tons of transactions queued on which this really causes up that
kind of fee spike up. Actually its not really that new anymore into ETH and thats why there would really be those investors who doesnt really like on dealing up with it because the fees were high.
If we do really tend to observe about the intensity of meme coins that being created on such blockchain or lets say you could be able to distinguish on how many is really that trying to make coins on certain blockchains on which fees are also considered to be a turning point or really that having that considerations like on what we do see in solana network. Right?

I would say Layer 2 is not the way to go when the gas fee for ETH is this low. The switch from PoW to PoS was done because of this, and didn't happen that quickly because there was a huge congestion with bunch of transactions just stuck, and with bomb to pass most of them, and the price going down ,we finally reached a point where there isn't too much stuck anymore, and everyone else could just keep using it for nearly free price, it's very cheap. I understand it's fast as well, it's about 30 seconds at most, and it's 14 cents at the most, which means ETH finally reached a point where you can use it to pay something in a shop.

Bitcoin can't be used for that for example, takes many minutes, and costs a lot, so you would be standing in the shop for many minutes waiting for confirmation, but ETH can be, it used to be not available too because it would be too expensive, but now it's cheap and fast, so you pay and leave and all it takes is thirty seconds.

yea everytime there's rally, the tx fee increases, even TGE event as small as some random project already can cause the gas fee of ETH to go up to around 20 gwei and even more.
this network is just too unreliable to be used for daily purpose because the never ending fee problem. the eth fee plummet maybe because the blockchain is getting unusually lower transaction and only got the metric inflated by the blob transaction from l2 settlement, the real tx that interacts with defi protocols aren't so much so the fee is going down.

now that BTC bull is starting again, fee going up again, kinda shows that ETH is unsolved piece of puzzle.

Fees fluctuate according to on-chain network activity. ETH is cheap now because the network is not as congested as before. Things have calmed down a bit, as the hype moved into other chains such as Solana and TON. Once ETH becomes viral again, fees will rise all the way to the moon. Luckily for us, ETH developers are working on a long-term solution to scale the Blockchain. Upgrades such as ProtoDanksharding and Danksharding will make ETH great again. Just like in the early days (low fees, fast confirmation times).

Who needs to switch to a L2 network or an altcoin, when you can have everything in one place at a low cost? If ETH does things right, it will remain the second-largest crypto by market cap forever. I'd keep this coin in my portfolio for long-term profits. Just keep buying, and "hodling", and forget about the rest.

If the sol and the likes of it won't move and innovate faster, in fact..
