What kind of bullshit is this? a $3 fee on a $20 transaction and still not confirmed, I use to like bitcoin but I am hating it now more and more each day
Tell me how bitcoin isn't fucking up? only good thing about is the price of it
The fee does not depend on the amount of money you are sending, you could have sent a million dollars worth of bitcoin and you would still have got the very same fee and the very same delay, the fee will depend on the size of the transaction, this is one of the most basic differences between bitcoin and other payment systems out there.

yes that trasnaction is     120.108 sat/B
https://bitcoinfees.21.co/  this is delay : 4-119

Whole system of sending in BTC and fee calculating is fucking broken.
We should setup sat/B not whole amount because whole amount means BS guys : )
Why there is no option  to chose sat/b per fee ?

Depends of what wallet are you using.
You could also make an estimation of the size of the transaction based on the number of inputs, then set the fee accordingly
