due to the enhanced technology promised by Bitcoin through system changes. Bitcoin developers are promising Bitcoin scalability enhancements through a new method called Segregated Witness (SegWit) to provide additional space for more transactions.

Think this is the reason why so many Altcoins are gaining in value all of a sudden. People are fed up with the high transaction fees and slow network.  Quicker they fix it the better

Quicker fix is better but they dont implement the lightning network yet and as i know lightning network can make the transaction quicker and lower fee or maybe till zero fee. Thats what i know.

Do you have any reference about this I also heard about this but I haven't read any blogs

Basically the more bitcoin price increases or leads to a higher price than before.. it surely be the one reason the transaction fees are getting higher, and not only that.. of course due Bitcoin is a crypto coin that's indeed like a king of crypto coins, it could affecting that coin is more special than altcoins / other crypto coins in any things. Not to mention Bitcoin today was increasingly popular among many people from a various countries, all efforts made that related to Bitcoin.. of course, currently it's more providing a high profits given the increasingly high prices from time to time.

The cost of bitcoin payments is skyrocketing because the network is totally overloaded

In the link above there were some reasons why most bitcoin transaction fee was getting higher and higher and higher

How to lessen your headache because of transact fee:
(this is only the best thing I know feel free to suggest)

Use other crypto so called altcoins instead of just using one crypto that is bitcoin you can try to use ETH,XRP or LTC
because as of today the users of this crypto are not the same as BTC.

PS: if you have any suggestion to avoid or lessen high btc transact fee in your transaction  please just comment it down
that would be a great help to everyone thanks
more power


totally agree with you, fee so high, delay confirmation, low speed transaction is very very big problem of bitcoin. i think we shift to use altcoin  like eth, ripple etc

It is due to the number of transactions bitcoin network can handle per block (block size limit), and there are more transactions than the network can handle.

They are not high anymore, the normal fee for sending transactions is aproximately 0,0007 bitcoins at the moment, that is less than $9 with the actual price. If you think that it is expensive, then better to switch to ether, they charge $8 for fees, lmao.

Yes, many people are experiencing these issues with higher transaction fee because due to mining difficulty which causes higher transaction fee. Now Bitcoin mining maturity is very difficult they need to upgrade more miners in order to mine one bitcoin. These things are very tough to confirm the transaction.

Well i think the reason for high transaction fees and greater transaction time of BITCOIN is the crowd of investors that increases the working load .As we know that there is no authority to keep a check on investors or investments of BITCOIN sdo these are increasing highly day by day which is the main reason for this.

It is  due to the bitcoin price was very high and also now mining is not easier , people have use special hardware like antminor etc and the hardware cost for the mining equipment also increased which in turn made the transaction fees to go higher. Best thing is to convert the bitcoin to alt coins and then sell it with the lesser transaction price , but also conversion fee also needs to be looked at.

I have faced many times this issue that the amount were not that big and the transaction fee were not satisfactory for me. Bitcoin currency is good i am using blockchain.Info and the transaction fee were high so i didn't withdraw my bitcoin i have to use this for shifting to the other other altcoins because i want to be successful in the currencies market.

The processing of the transaction itself is not so complicated, BUT there is a huge hardware problem which, when mining bitcoin, spoils faster than in altcoins, which increases the price of transactions

The price rise of bitcoin were because of the people high demand to wards bitcoin for the sake of high profits and when the knows that it is time to sell they do that as a result the bitcoin demand is become slow and the supply increases in the market so the prices shift quickly. The prices increases with time to time but in the start of this year the price is stable in the 13k and 14k.

I agree with u

Perhaps the entire cryptocurrency market is now in a huge bubble, and when the price of bitcoin is falling, the bubble is likely to burst.

Bitcoin is a decentralised currency. There is no regulating authority to keep control over its movements, volatility or on its price. Same is the case with transaction charges. People were fed up with bank, ATM, debit credit card charges, so they choose bitcoin currency. Earlier times bitcoin`s transaction time and transaction charges both were far less. But with growing price of bitcoin currency transaction charges are also increasing. Same is the case with transaction settlement time. We don’t know why this is happening.  Maybe bitcoin miners are doing this to earn more bitcoins.As a result bitcoin investors are shifting themselves to much cheaper altcoins.
