In my opinion thats the biggest flaw of the bitcoin technology. The fixed-size blockchain of 1 MB and each block can contain a certain amount of transactions so when the network is saturated the miners ask you for more money so you get priority in that little allocated space.

If the price of the transaction fee increases further, Bitcoin will begin to be used simply to store funds or pay for large accounts, and for other settlements, another currency will be used.

These wallets taking advantage of btc price. Their fee is going high up the wazoo as well!! Your profit from holding btc is like nothing cuz it gets eaten anyway by fees! @##$@!

High fees and slower transactions have been and will always be a problem concerning the blockchain network, this is in my opinion a default of how bitcoin became difficult to mine, and since miners are the ones who verify transactions makes them slow, so a few numbers of miners meet with the huge number of transactions lead to pay high serve first, the higher the transaction fee the faster the transaction, and I am sure that this is one of the side effects of having bitcoin be so popular, and it will stay the same until mining becomes viable for anyone and not just for the big companies that have millions worth of mining hardware.

Hopefully there will be new miners :X ... you can watch the unconfirmed transactions out there here https://blockchain.info/charts/mempool-count , at least for now the amount seems to shrink a little and so should the fees.

Adding miners doesn't really help.  The network is designed to have 1 block mined about every 10 minutes and the blocks are only 1M long.  The max bandwidth is pretty much fixed.

yes, should wait for the market stability

Today, blockchain.info asked for more than 20$ to transfer 20$. Anyone knows the reasons behind these high fees and if it's going to decrease in near future?

Bitcoin fee is too high. It has high fees and has slow transactions. The price of bitcoin may affect the fees but i just hope not in a way that they will charge about $8-$20. It's too expensive for those who are small time holder of bitcoin just like me. If they gives us higher fees per transactions surely bitcoin will go down because not all people owns a lot of bitcoin to waste it on just fees

This is the most problem of bitcoin users lately the transactions fees are expensive. Also the confirmation that takes long. I hope there is a resolution on this lag and to down the fees in every transactions.
