I am not saying that at current levels this fee is unaffordable. But what if there is another 10x increase in the transaction fee? Are you willing to pay 2,000 Sat/byte for instant confirmations?
It is an usual scene to see the transaction fees increase when ever there is an increase in price, the total unconfirmed transaction increases whenever there is a price rally as people are moving their coins often during those period and the amount of unconfirmed transaction has increased a lot in the past few weeks, but i will never give a higher fees if i am not urgent to move my coins, you can always input smaller fees for transaction if you are not that busy.
