It's good to see Ethereum climbing like this. It all points to the direction that altseason is soon starting.
It already started way before ETH's rise. I believe this is truly unnecessary and like every other tokens user, I'm not happy at all because to move even $15 worth of tokens to an exchange, I need to pay more than $6 (at the time of writing this) to miners just for the sake of getting my transaction confirmed and as there are chances of failures, I'm scared that I may lose everything if I send less in fee.
Now "why is Ethereum climbing when it's so expensive to use?" - it's expensive to use thanks to the fact that a lot of people are interested. Just the normal way of things happening.
Literally typical nonsense and highly unwanted. ETH miners must be making fortunes but we people are suffering a lot due to this and unable to make ^cheap^ transactions over ETH Network.
