Something is brewing in the Bitcoin world? For the last 2-3 days I can I witness slow transactions and huge fees. I got used to 1sat/byte transactions and they always get through so I sent a couple of sats to myself but you can't imagine how surprised I was when I saw my tx is ~75mb from tip! My wallet suggested a fee of 10sat/bytes! So, what's going on? Is this connected with that ordinals mumbo-jumbo?

This isnt something new anymore and this could definitely happen on Bitcoin transaction where the entire network is really that clogged up.Transaction prioritized are to those who do set out higher fees
which miners would really be having no doubt on processing it first than into those who had set out 1sat/byte which is understandable. This is why if you dont really like on paying up huge fees
then it would really be just right that you should wait but if you are in a hurry on pushing up such transaction then you would be needing to pay up more fees.
Lets just accept this scalability issue of Bitcoin yet this had been the main issue ever since.
