Any reason for the Ethereum gas price being so high lately?
Maybe due to high loads of traffic on Ethereum network, but just ignore those one since if those one is recommended by the network then it will best to anyone to follow it since it could make their transaction more faster, And if you disobey it and lower down the gas then you will surely encounter a long delays of transaction things.
Using the high gas price can make you process your transaction surely and more faster. The heavy traffic is caused by the people who used the ethereum from time to time to buy and sell their coins. Following the rules can make you avoid the delays on your transaction. I did before not to increase the gas price and it come out to had error in my transaction and cannot send the coins in the exchange.
