I am doing trades on ehterdelta where the default gas price is 4 Gwei. The network in the last few days is terribly slow I remember 1 week ago I was making trades on 1 Gwei and even 0.1 and the transactions were done within minutes, now with 4 Gwei I have to wait like 20 minutes and sometimes the transactions get canceled. My question is what is the reason for this? Is it temporary or it will be like this for the near future?
I do not exactly know what is the main reason why ethereum are very slow. I think that the people are not that crazy to invest on ethereum that big just like bitcoins unlike bitcoins the people who are investing on them are very huge. Ethereum prices are just are on stable not growing up and not going down or either slowly growing up and slowly growing down. At least that they have some stable consumers that are holding their coins for a long term investment but i think that if more people are investing in this the value will also rise just like bitcoins and will pump as quickly as bitcoins
