Miners are not missing their opportunity amidst higher fees as high-priority transactions cost up to 674 satoshis per virtual byte (sat/vB).
Some single transfers were worth more than $50.00. At the moment, there are eight unmined blocks of high-priority transactions. Meanwhile, 311 blocks are waiting to be processed which together makes a backlog of 383607 unconfirmed Bitcoin transactions in the memepool.
This increase can be traced to increased network activity, catalyzed by the rise in popularity of BRC-20 tokens and bitcoin ordinal inscriptions. This surge produced a jam-up, and there were 470 thousand pending transactions forming queues in the mempool.
