Network getting worst worse
Hate to be that guy, but get the grammar right.
I had 3 transactions stuck in the network for about 2 days, and
finally they went through. I thought they were all going to get sent back, to be honest. I use Mycelium, and for two of them I used the "economic" option, which came out to be something like $6 for a fee, and the third one I used the "low-priority" option, and it was still fairly expensive for the amount I was sending. That one was the last to go through--but they all did, and I'm happy.
If you wonder why bitcoin isn't rapidly getting adopted for everyday use, why you don't see people waiting in line, paying for their coffee at Starbucks with bitcoin, this is part of the reason. If you have to wait for at least one confirmation before you consider yourself paid in full, it just isn't practical. Nor do I, as a bitcoin user, feel like paying a huge fee just for the privilege of using crypto to pay for something. It costs me $0 to use cash or my debit card. Makes sense, no?
