Why are 
Bitcoin transaction fees currently so high? Is it due to the increasing popularity and demand for Bitcoin, causing the network to become congested? Or is it a result of the limited block size, which restricts the number of transactions that can be processed in each block? Could it be a combination of both factors? Additionally, are there any proposed solutions to this issue, such as increasing the block size or implementing SegWit, that could potentially reduce transaction fees in the future? Understanding the reasons behind these high fees and potential solutions would help provide clarity to those investing and utilizing Bitcoin for various financial transactions.
