If you are using Bitcoin, you can still get slightly lower fees on the weekend, but like I mentioned earlier, Ordinals have pretty much made the cheapest of BTC transactions impossible nowadays. Right now, we have close to 50k of unconfirmed transactions. It wasn't uncommon that this number was down to 1-3k a few months ago, but not anymore. But if you are using alternative chains that have cheaper fees and quicker block times anyways, I wouldn't concern myself about the time you make your transaction.
There are still over 41K Unconfirmed transactions while I am writing this post. The recommended fee is 4 satoshi per byte which is not too much in my opinion. I don't know if you consider Bitcoin as real Bitcoin on other chains except for lightning. Some people even think the lightning network Bitcoin is not real. We can indeed do transactions cheaper on different chains, but I don't believe all platforms support alternative chains. But I wouldn't say I like how people made alternative chains for Bitcoin that are not real.
I do agree that LN is not "real" at this moment since getting that into binance for example is hard. I just like to do segwit, that is more than enough for me and I feel comfortable about it. The amount that I have to pay is not giant, I remember old days when it was as high as 30-40 dollars at some point to move money around, this was both in 2017 and in 2021 as well, we are not there right now so it doesn't really feel that much.
And if that ever feels like an issue, I can always use anything in bep20, it could be bnb, it could be busd, or it could be anything else. But here? Here, btc is fine, the price is not a lot and I get to withdraw to binance easily, then I can do whatever I want with it.
