The bitcoin civil war between supporters of Bitcoin Unlimited, who feel betrayed by having our B2X coin "postponed," and bitcoin core, who seem to want to consign BTC to the dustbin of history, has reignited this week.
This has resulted in pretty much every BU aligned mining pools abandoning BTC for the only remaining BU-inspired coin in existence: bitcoin cash (BCash or BCH or BCC). These defections have made what were already huge fees and waiting times for BTC even larger (SegWit can handle it alone, my ass).
So, the only way to avoid big delays when sending BTC anywhere today is to include fees of at least $10 and, to be safe, I'd go with $12 - $15 (so, say, .0015 to .00225 BTC in fees).
These are the highest fees and wait times have ever been. Nice work, core! Enjoy your 'victory'.
