Bitcoin is basically unusable on a Saturday?

I sent two transactions to Dream on Saturday from Electrum

Frist transaction is sitting at unconfirmed since 5 hours with a medium transaction fee (bar set in the middle, about $4). Sent .02btc.

I decided to send a second transaction with a high transaction fee (bar set on high, about $10) for the same amount and it's telling me I sent a low fee and the expected confirmation time is unknown because of the low fee.

What gives? Am I missing something? At this point bitcoin is basically unusable and a nuisance it really shouldn't be the primary crypto for making day to day transactions. And this whole time bitcoin is rappidly dropping in price. What a pain in the ass.

Tons of unconfirmed transactions. Probably just clogged.

All non-DNM dummies are like "BTC is becoming a store of value instead of a means of transaction".

Really should be using Monero for darknetmarkets, for a whole host of reasons.

Literally think it’s 2-4 rich ass companies or people that control price. They start and end bull runs. Spoofy is someone heard doing it.

Try using:

  1. Replace by Fee
  2. Child Pays for Parent
  3. A transaction accelerator:
