Bitcoin usable again - thanks to an empty mempool and cheap transaction fees

in cryptocurrency •  7 years ago 

A few week ago bitcoin were a total disaster. You weren't able to send transactions without waiting for hours or paying over 10$ for transactions. So I avoided to use bitcoin at all. Today I checked https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx and I rubbed my eyes in disbelief.

They recommended 0.00001 BTC/KvB fee. At first I thought this was an error, but then I checked another website and could confirm that the low fee is possible.

Assuming a standard transaction of about 250 bytes, you can send bitcoin easily with a fee under 10 cent and be still in the next two blocks.
