Bitcoin Fee Estimates Have Increased By 1,013% in USD Terms
Bitcoin fees have skyrocketed this year, increasing by 557% from 14 to 78 satoshis per byte, which translates to an eye-watering 1,013% increase in dollar terms in just one year, according to research by Jameson Lopp, engineer at BitGo.
That still translates to just 22 cents for an ordinary transaction of around 400 bytes in size, with peak time fees ranging from around 30 cents to 50 cents or more, but transaction costs have seen a constant gradual increase in 2016, primarily due to lack of transaction capacity.
