I needed to move a little bit of Bitcoin and the fee just kept climbing. We can assume the activity with Ordinals is causing it. If you haven't heard, people can trade pixelated apes on BTC now which is bogging it down.
It's insane that even back in 2015 we knew the block size for Bitcoin was going to be an issue. Now we are here 8 years later dealing with this issue still even in a bear market. Just think about what will happen in the bull market. ETH and BTC fees end up being a joke.
You can try to adjust the gas fees and risk having your transaction stuck in the mem pool for who knows how long.
In other news Litecoin has Ordinals as well. Hopefully it doesn't get bogged down over there too.
Also Pulsechain has launched but the bridge too it is bogged down. Watch out for scammers as well. I don't know if the various things purporting to be Pulse related have anything to do with it.
