I don't want to spend $40 to consolidate here. I guess I'll just have to wait. And wait & wait & wait???
I also feel the same frustration as you, but there is nothing we can do other than just setting sat/vb. Even if the total cost is greater than the amount sent the solution is for me personally to wait. Because this is a bullrun phase where speculators are very aggressive in the market and we cannot control that. OOT, I even received news from a friend who attended the Taipei Blockchain event where one of the developers had plans to build a large project on Bitcoin Layer 1 and this project has now received massive support from Bitcoin maximalists. I was quite surprised because this will also result in even higher transaction costs in the future.
