I was surprised too when I checked the transaction fees, they’re really cheap these days (
checked on mempool). As we’ve all noticed, the market seems to be in a bull run already, with Bitcoin hitting $69k and getting ready to break the current ATH, which should push the price even higher. But yeah, it’s interesting how this time around it’s different compared to the last bull run. Back then, fees were really high, making small transactions almost not worth it. We had to wait until the network congestion eased up before moving any Bitcoin.
I don't know if I will say that is bullrun that makes the congestion to occurs, do you know that this transaction congestion we experienced this time, we have not experienced it last three years or four years ago, I think that why we do experienced these kind of congestion in transaction is because of numbers of transaction at moment that needs to be processed, last two weeks they was a congestion in which I seek for the assistance of accelerator to boost the transaction confirmation, so it's not the bullrun that caused congestion in transaction from my perspective, but the demands or gravity of the unprocessed transaction will lead to congestion, I will like other people to throw more light on what that causes delay of confirmation of transaction in blockchain technology.
