False. Please do research before posting or not not post at all.

Thanks for linking this site again. The graphical overview is useful for determining the right fee depending on the desired confirmation time. It would be nice to have a similar feature for Bitcoin Core (I know there's already a pullbar to increase transaction fees, but it's not as useful as this overview).
The overview quite clearly shows that there is a large percentage of transactions in the mempool with very low fees (1-10 Sat/byte). So if you ask me, Hugroll is partly right. You can still get very fast confirmation by paying highly reasonable >80 Sat/byte, which normally are just a few cents per transaction.
I know that all seasoned frappuccino purchasers will hate me for this comment...
