U$14.32 to sent U$60 worth of BTC today equates to ONLY a 23.8666% fee.

What the fuck is going on?

yeah nearly 9 years fees were 10 cents and less (9 * 365 = 3285)
how long has the fees been high these days? 2? 3? 5? 5/3285 = 0.15% of bitcoin's lifetime was in high fees Wink

How is it spammed?

it started with hashrate going to bitcoin cash. that caseud the time between finding blocks to be bigger than normal. up to 1 hour but mostly 30 minutes instead of 10.
that is about 50-80 blocks less mined in a day. 50-80 * ~2500 tx/block = 125,000-200,000 transactions in mempool!

nobody needed to spam this time.

Do you actually think those bch guys are actually spamming small transactions and paying the current fees?

the spammers have always paid high fees, that is why one of the possibilities is that miners themselves are spamming to increase the fees.
