I don't want to spend $40 to consolidate here. I guess I'll just have to wait. And wait & wait & wait???

Maybe only a much higher BTC price will stop those ords from infesting the mempool....
Even I was very scared, when the price of BItcoin reached ATH and the transaction price was very expensive when I wanted to sell BTC that I kept in a personal wallet. Currently, transactions and fees are rising because some tokens are created using the BTC blockchain. If I'm not mistaken, it's BRC-20. Like Ordi, they crowded the Bitcoin network because of the large number of transactions. There are currently 24,677 tokens created on the Bitcoin network.
