Different countries issues is the reason why bitcoin is suffering price loss, when countries are not at peace with others, the whole nations suffered economic crisis, I remember when the price of bitcoin start going down was same season Russian x Ukraine start economy wars. Bitcoin seem to remained statics because of sentiments by this countries attitude towards the resourceful digital products that would have swim financial hardship.
Bitcoin is not causing any sentiment because is not never pegged to a particular currency so people can freely use it without any issue. This major problem behind this high fee is nit because of the war in Ukraine or in Russia. This is due to the congestion of the mempool leading to increase in the network fee. I am very sure that those that have nodes would be very profitable this time because they will be the one profiting from the high network fee that investors and traders that are running transactions will be paying.
