I don't feel irritated by bitcoin insane fees when the network get feed with alot of spam transaction all in an attack against the bitcoin network, and the reason why I never feel irritated is because I already know that such attacks will come once in a while due to bitcoin network possibility of that ordina spams.


What I do is to take a chill pills relax and give the spammers time to have they days, in no time they will run out ability to keep the bitcoin network congested and by then the transaction fees and network traffic will revert back to normal again.

For frequent transactions and small amount of bitcoin, use lightning network.

You can make use of very low fee or $0 fee if you are using lightning network. There are many newbies friendly noncustodial bitcoin lightning network wallet now.

Lists of open-source bitcoin lightning wallets

Exchanges like Binance, OKX, BitMart, Bitfinix, Bisq, Robosats, Paxful, Kucoin Noones and some other exchanges are having lightning network for deposit and withdraw now.

This will ease your frustration when bitcoin mempool is congested.

This is the major reason for transaction fee spike. Without traffic you don't need to pay much to get your transaction on the priority list.

High fees are a pain for anyone experiencing it when you need a transaction to be confirmed in good time, but it helps to prepare for it before a network congestion;
• Consolidate your small inputs when transaction fees are low,
• Use LN for micro transactions,
• Use segwit and avoid multiple inputs as much as is possible.

Nobody is comfortable paying high transaction fees because many embraced Bitcoin due to low transaction fees. I have learned not to be over-troubled by what I don't have control over. Periodic high transaction fees have come to stay until a solution is devised to stop the attack on the mempool. Instead of being irritated, it will be better to devise means of paying low fees. Consider consolidating your transactions if you have many deposits (UTXOs) when the transaction fees is down.

Have you ever thought what would happen if bitcoin became more popular? I mean the majority of people in the world will use bitcoin, and that will also cause the bitcoin network to become congested and transaction fees will remain high forever, not temporarily like now. Not to mention, spammers will not stop and you can also see that after BRC20 passes, we already have Rune, and I believe that in the future there will be something else to replace Rune to continue spamming the network.

I don't believe anyone would feel comfortable wanting to move bitcoin, but high transaction fees have slowed things down. So we'd be fooling ourselves if we said we weren't upset when bitcoin fees skyrocketed.

Annoyed, of course, and it made me have to pay more on the transactions I made.
And it also depends on how much Bitcoin you want to send, if the amount is quite large or for example 1 BTC with a fee of about $10 it is still good enough and the important thing is that there is no traffic jam that is too severe.

What is annoying is when transactions are very stuck due to the increase in the number of transactions that are usually caused by Ordinal, BRC20 or Rune so that the fees are also expensive, and the transaction time is longer.

I just choose not to make any transactions when network congestion occurs.

Transaction fee is mostly considered base on the mempool and the number of inputs we are using for making the transaction, but by now, i don't expect to see many claiming that bitcoin transaction fee is still extremely high because what we are having now is very much affordable by all, there are times it get high and other times the transaction fee get low when the mempool is less congested.

Right now, the fees are wonderful, well below $1. In my experience, sometimes the fees truly get high, but sometimes websites that monitor average transaction fees, as well as wallet recommendations can be wrong and make one overpay. So checking the fees on Mempool is a good practice.
When the fees are above $10, it makes me upset, but I know that it is temporary, and I try to wait them out. If I need to sell urgently, I do it despite the fees, but that is pretty rare. Large fees show that Bitcoin is often not suitable as a form of money, at least not for daily usage and on-chain transactions.

Since high fees are temporary why kill yourself worrying about it when you can just stay off transactions in the main time while it gets over? And of course people do use other network when it's very urgent because definitely bitcoin is not a cult so we don't have oats holding anyone to use only the bitcoin network.

So if you get irritated with high tx fees, go to bed and sleep over it. 

To be honest with you, I wish there is alternative to this problems but when you complain, some Bitcoin supporters comes for you like you don't like Bitcoin. I like Bitcoin with all my heart, no digital currency comes close when it comes to everything about it but you see this congestion, it sucks when there too many transactions on the network and you are left with no choice than to wait because the asking fee is even bigger than what you want to send to another wallet.

If you want to bye pass this problems in future, make sure you consolidate your inputs into a single place, it helps you spend low fees when it comes to times like this, consolidation of inputs helps you get small inputs and this help you mini reduces the amount you will spend for every input in your transaction because segwit address fees are actually low but this doesn't mean you wouldn't pay more if there is high congestion, you sometimes need to pay optimum to be able to get your transaction through.
