Could you please elaborate on why the transaction fees for Bitcoin tend to skyrocket during a Bull Run? It seems counterintuitive that the costs of transferring Bitcoin would increase during periods of heightened demand and appreciation. Are there any underlying factors that contribute to this phenomenon, and what impact does it have on users and the overall ecosystem?

This is primarily due to the high demand for transaction processing on the Bitcoin network, which is limited by the number of miners available.
