Are you kidding? Asking seriously.

Yesterday, I wanted to send 0.1 to my friend, and the blockchain asked me to give $19 as fee. Is this normal? Of course, it's not.

Is it logical to pay $19 for $1500 transfer? No! Then why are you blaming us?

And who is there to blame? Bitcoin? Blockchain? Maybe your own stupidity?
Who says you always have to trust your blockchain wallet and pay the fee they ask you to? Don't you have your own brain?
Aren't there other wallets that allow you to set lower fees? Isn't there a site that allows you to check the fees of unconfirmed transactions and set your own so that it gets confirmed exactly when you want it to?
Right now it looks like the network is being spammed and you need ~$15 to get a first block confirmation, but half of it ($7) will still give you a 5-6 block confirmation which is pretty fast for much cheaper.
