Didn't have many options when it came to cyrptocurreny and went with bitcoin. After sending to tails wallet, then the market I had more than 50% of it gone to fees. How the fuck is this currency so popular?
Holy moly these bitcoin fees are fucking crazy

first mover advantage.
people need to use better coins such as Monero. Even bitcoin cash (BCH) is much better than bitcoin.
I'm surprised so many people are still using btc in dark market, guess they just don't know any better or just too high to care

I just sent a transaction yesterday with a fee of approximately $4 attached that confirmed within 10 minutes.

You aren't doing it right. Learn about setting your fees manually.

We just started to accept LTC, XMR and a couple other coins besides bitcoin, and it's no hassle at all for vendors to set that up. Easier for customers, more security, more choice. Bitcoin fees are insane and bitcoin shouldn't be used as a method of payment.

You wanna get on LTC mate, superior in every way. That said, bitcoin needs to succeed for that too for the time being

Can't wait for monero to get multi sig and vendors to start using it.

I wish Dream would accept monero....

Use a SegWit wallet (latest version of electrum). Can't believe people are still complaing about fees and confirmation times when the solution is so easy.
[2 Points] OvrWtchAccnt:
The bitcoin fees are noticeably lower today than any any point previously in this week and last, 0.00079 from 0.001 https://bitcoinfees.earn.com, and high fees are for first block confirmation, I paid $5 which is still a bitch to pay in fees to transact but it didnt take more than 1 day. Under 12hrs iirc.

Dood, I just think that Bitcoin is destined to change the world some day.

LTC has the fastest times and lowest fees. IMHO. I don't know why anyone is using BTC right now until LN or segwit2x
[1 Points] knotmyrealname:
Bitcoin is losing popularity. Unless something changes with the fees and speed that will continue.

I'm guessing this was a few days ago, you probably bought it just before it crashed by 30-40% due to Chinese government statements and a few other things. If you waited it is already back up 20% though.
All cryptos are super changable, especially in the last year. For me I have barely uplaoded new cash in the last year because every time I log in the value has increased and I'm just spending the profit. At least until a few days ago....

I legit had a order for $100 sent with a $4 fee by accident go through.. I used one of those btc accelerators which to my surprise somehow worked lol.

I'm not super experienced but out of probably 15 transfers of BTC to an Electrum wallet I'm averaging around 10% and its always in my wallet in 5mins, i guess I've gotten lucky. My favorite currency is by far LTC though, i use it on the clearnet for Kratom.

How is the bitcoin fee calculated and how high is it at the moment?
[0 Points] Gordonb0mbay:
BCH costs pennies to use and is nearly instant
It's the longest running and has been popular for a while now. The extreme fee spike hasn't been going on for too terribly long but it's become such a problem that many markets/vendors are now accepting alternative currencies like BCH, XMR, and LTC.
If you use a wallet that is segwit ready, your fees will be cut by roughly 50% according to this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/DankNation/comments/7rdy3p/if_you_are_still_using_bitcoin_use_a_wallet_that/
