I haven't sent btc in a while. Back when i sent btc, fees were less than 50 cents. Maybe 3 dollars? I went and tried to send less than 30 dollars of btc... fees show up as 12 dollars on electrum and thats with the lowest possible fee where i make it send within 25 blocks. Now if you want to send under 1 dollar, it cost 12 dollars. When is this issue getting fixed? Who in their right mind would send btc for small amounts when even the fee is that much? Its like paying 12 dollars for something you want to buy that is 1 dollar?
Bitcoin transactions fees and time, are an issue that has been going on for quite a while, this problem started when bitcoin became so popular and so expensive along side the increase of the mining difficulty, see bitcoin mining is so expensive and requires a lot of hardware to do it, which makes it accessible for a handfull of poeple, and since miner are the ones who verifies the transactions, makes them slow because of how many transactions that are going on inside the network, and this means if you pay more fees which go to the miners the faster your transaction will be.
