BTC transaction fees are mostly tolerable, it's only when the bull run happens, naturally, the txn fees grow. Also, you still can pay low transaction fees if you want to, you know that, right?
I usually look at transactions mempool on this website to decide the perfect time/money ratio, when I don't want to overpay, but, at the same time, I don't want my transaction to take ages to be confirmed. Don't give up so easily
