All the Bitcoin users dream about incredibly fast transactions and low fees, but unfortunately, we can choose only one option. So, we probably need to put up
The transaction fee is depending on the current price of bitcoin i think, before the value of bitcoin is very low there is a small fee and most of the time its free, but now at the current price and the free is increasing i think it is fair.
And also there is an option vary on the fast, mid and slow transaction it depends on the user which one they choose.
I agree to you , before I cant even feel the transaction fee on my transactions, because the price of bitcoins is somehow low. But now I can feel the transaction fee and for me its a bit high . And before even the transaction fee is still low the transaction period is fast.
