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?
I think continous price is due to the sky rocketing price of bitcoins. as the price goes high transaction fees always ride in, but my question is do those increase in transaction fee have some improvement with it. It is quite annoying to be ask by a high transaction fee wherin there is not even transaction speed improvements. But i hope those a sum of those fee spend with security improvements and not just a mere income from the processors.
