Fees after halving were ridiculous! I've been so used to send transactions with a 1 sat fee that my transaction got stuck in mempool for 10 days! Sad

not to mention having to pay like $3 fee for a $5 transaction. That's why ETH has gained so much momentum lately.

I've sent more than 1000$ for less than 10 cents fee just because I've waited a cool down period. Of course, this is not always possible.
Also the fees are not related to the value you are transacting, so the 5$ and 1000$ figures are useless.

And also Ethereum network is pretty much crowded too lately and I fear that if the trend continues sooner or later you'll face the same issues on ETH.

It's a matter of when the network is crowded and when you pay less fee, your transaction will likely delay for more than an hour or worse in a day. I already experience such as this when I tried to send fewer transaction fees when the network was crowded, it's the time when the BTC price was rising and it feels like everyone us trading BTC. I thought I won't gonna make it that day cause it delayed too long that I expected.

Congestion is that it?yeah i have witnessed this from 2017 and now happens again couple of weeks back.in 2017 i
experienced this High fee when i withdraw just .005
bitcoin but it cost me almost 1/4 just to make the transaction faster and this is really sucks and now i use to this
and don't bother being anger when the fees goes
high,i still use the 1 sat/byte even if this took me 3-10 days because i know this will pass and in days things will
back to normal like now ,and also soon when things
are being better and with the help of Lightning Network fees will run down and
everyone will be happy again.
