I don't know how Ethereum transaction fee was in the last few years but in this year the gas or the transaction fee is very high that it is not easy to buy Ethereum. I bought Ethereum last week and out of the 100% 40% was use as the transaction fee and I really regret of buying Ethereum at this time. If I would have known I would have waited for sometimes before investing in it. And now that if the price didn't hit $10k then I will be a very big loser of the investment.
I have experienced that High fee back in 2021 and that is the last time that I used
Ethereum for transacting though up to now I still have ethereum on holding but never
that i used this in paying or something related because of indeed occasional increase
of transaction fees that i observed sometimes sounds like more than how much i can
spend in bitcoin so to prevent those hates , I decide to not use for even a single time
now instead to let sit in my folio for another year.
