It is really a pain in the pocket especially for us small time holders like us. This is the main reason many bitcoin holders are now using xrp and other altcoins so they can save transaction fees. I just wish the transaction fees could lessen a bit since it is really a pain in the pocket. There are many holders who are complaining nowadays except I guess for the big bag holders and the whales.
In the past few days, the mempool activity is not too tight. So right now, you can make a btc transaction go thru even at 5sat/byte. As compared to I think couple of weeks ago, the pending transactions were more than 100k. For small time holders, if you really want to transfer your coins from one exchange to another, use other alts like xrp or doge, to lessen the fees. I guess, a lot of traders are doing that. I even discovered that EOS is also good alternative, however, not all exchanges are having EOS in their trading pair.
i send a btc coin yesterday with a 6000 satoshi fee and arrived before the expected time . im not using an exchange and theres no option for me to convert my btc to other alts before i send them but thats okay as long as im not forced to pay over 10 dollar for the fee i can still wait a little longer for my transactions to be process using a small fee .
eos was a good coin and also popular , suppostedly almost every average exchange supports it . those that didnt support it can be a bad exchange.
