I haven’t had much to do with crypto since eth mining.

I decided to buy some BTC and send it to my cold wallet, however the feel was like $40 dollars for less than one hour and even <24 was still about $22 I think.

I’m assuming it’s network congestion but why? What causes it to be so high atm?!

It looks as if it’s been relatively high for a while now, what gives? Have I missed something that’s responsible for this or is it genuinely just the volume of transactions at the moment?

Also considering adding some other coins to my offline wallet. I’m UK bases and have uses coinbase but wondering where you buy from personally?
