the possibility of transaction costs is no problem gan. because the bitcoin transaction costs have just gone downthen it will likely stay down. in case the bitcoin gets better and keeps going up into the sky. then the transaction costs on the rise again will surely many people ask if anyone is deliberately doing so to keep the bitcoin enjoyed by people .

I suggest you make your transaction with ETH. Hopefully it will be fixed by the time the btc reaches 1 million as some people have predicted.

The last time Bitcoin went up, traders and holders were happy with the price, but saddened by the terrible transaction costs. Unfortunately, sometimes the cost to move money is greater than the amount of money transferred. For crypto assets that try to be a direct replacement fiat money, bitcoin should at least be cheap to transact as cash.
From the past years the transaction fees of bitcoin  is very high this is a big problem for us small business owner who actually implemented to accept bitcoin as payment. We have a printing and tshirt brand we are accepting bitcoin as a payment but the problem is the price of our merch is about 20 dollars but the fee is like 2 to 3 dollars. So our costumer is choosing a money remittance to pay us but the problem is we need to pay for the gas to get the payments.

Currently, I think Bitcoin trading is much lower than before, but if you still think it is too high, I suggest that you make your transaction with ETH.

Lets hope the lightning network ends up being successfully adopted everywhere before the next bull cycle starts. As, if the bitcoin network gets congested again like the last time than many people are going to shift towards other crypto currencies and Bitcoin is going to lose the trust of many people.

The lightening network is already getting a lot of usage.The number of nodes has increased exponentially in the last couple of months,which means the issue of have a lot of unconfirmed transaction and ultimately fee hike will be a thing of the past.Lightening network 'batches' a collection of transactions and treats them as a single one.

I think if the Bitcoin transaction is cheaper than Altcoins who have entered the Exchange market, because I experience moving Altcoins A about 3000 tokens, continue to get a fee of about 500 tokens Altcoins and it is very strangling me because of its huge fee.

I hope Bitcoin transaction fee should not be up again because it can impover the Bitcoin users.

I prefer to use bitcoin as an investment, despite the current unfavorable price. bitcoin transactions as fiat will probably make you more losers.

when theres a demand the transaction cost will be increase, thats a normal thing. and yeah this is a problem that should be solved as soon as possible. do not let bitcoin be considered obsolete and slowly abandoned by its users. for now some people still use an alternative way for bitcoin transactions, that is by changing it to another alternative coin that has a small fee like dogecoin.

When transaction volume picks back up, which it will when BTC goes back up, it'll become pay for play all over again to get transactions processed in a somewhat timely manner.

This problem has recurred since the beginning of Bitcoin and we are accustomed to finding many locks in the transactions, but problems exist to be solved and as mentioned above Segwit can and should be a great alternative to rid the network and help look for new ways to make the overall system lighter.

I think this is the problem faced by all the bitcoin users that the transaction fee of bitcoin is very high and people are in very trouble that there is no such proper regulating body who keeps on eye over all these activities and moreover this crypto currency is not that centralised so no country takes no responsibility for that irregular transactions fee because I think those who are there , are just trying to recover the loses that has been done by that deflating valuation in last past 4 months.

Want top-notch marketing for your project, Hire me
You're right OP cause the hike in bitcoin transaction fee also had some effect on the bitcoin price market but the level of bitoin users or traffic are what usually cause the hike in fee but with the help of project like the SegWit, Lightning, Root block chain etc.  The problem with high transaction fee will be fix.

The cost of bitcoin transactions is quite high. Hopefully in the near future the transaction fee will drop. People are more concerned about the cost of living

I dont think it is high enough whem compared to last years fee because bitcoins value was also super high that time and as a result of that the fees were also sky rocketed too much no unlike these year that the fees were now lowered due to the current value of bitcoin which was also verry low.

Aside from the value, i think bitcoin wallets or online exhchanges do also matter because i already notice it after i use different kinds of them.

Lastly , the fees can also varry in the amount of bitcoins that youve sent because the higher the amount you send , the fees are also high but the lower the amount you send , the fees are also low.

What do you mean the transaction fee is greater than the amount to be transacted?maybe you're converting little amount that smaller than the minimim transaction fee,if thats the case so expect what you are mentioning..

And about this case,thats why the lightning network is on the move to response to this concerns and if this releases then we may not having this kind of issues

Well, there's not only Segwit adoption being pretty high these days, but also there's the Bitcoin payment protocol. I know a few websites I purchase things from accept this form of payment. It cuts down on network usage by quite a bit. Bitpay I think has a good guide on what exactly it is. But trust me, it helps A LOT.

We are seeing a huge decrease from 7-10% everyday dropping and now it's $7,500.
Bitcoin definitely will touch 20 k dollars in the next year because of two main reasons. First, it has a very limited supply, only 21 million and after the loss of some it was predicted that the value reduced to 18 million out of which only 4 million are still to be mined out but its demand is increasing too much.
It will retouch the sky while ETH is going to take a lot of time. Other than these two, monero, waves and ltc have some potential.
Even if the bitcoin price reaches $20K the transaction fee won't reach like what happened at the end of 2017.Because before all the exchange are using single transaction per trade now batch transaction is happening in between all the exchange and also many exchange adopts to the segwit which make it more faster.

if you keep your bitcoin in exchange, try using altcoin like doge, ltc or waves for transaction, it's much lower than bitcoin transaction fee
but if it's not on the exchange, try using segwit, I never tried it, but I think it works fine
