ETH has fees are downright crazy.

I’ve been trying to swap about $20 worth of a coin to ETH, and I keep getting quoted fees over $15. That’s absolutely insane—how can the fees be almost as much as the transaction itself? ETH gas fees are ridiculous. Why does it cost so much just to send a few lines of code across the network?

It’s hard to justify these kinds of fees for something that’s supposed to make decentralized finance accessible. It feels like the system is designed to benefit only a small group of people while others are stuck paying exorbitant costs. The whole thing is starting to seem more and more like a big Ponzi scheme, where the fees just line the pockets of a few, leaving regular users out in the cold.

For a system that’s supposed to be revolutionary and efficient, it’s doing the opposite for the average person. Why should it be this expensive just to make basic transactions?

Or am I doing something wrong ? I have tried to do the transactions at different time and and the gas is still super high.

What on earth is going on with ETH ?
