About BTC Value Check

What it actually costs to move bitcoin, and when it is cheapest.

What this site is for

Fee information in crypto is either a single live number with no context, or a blog post that was accurate once. Neither tells you the thing you actually want to know: is this a normal price, and could I pay less by waiting or by going a different route?

Everything here is measured continuously and kept, so the numbers come with history behind them rather than a snapshot.

What the figures cover

What to be careful about

• Everything is UTC. Convert to your own timezone before acting on it.
• Past fee levels describe past demand for block space. They are a useful prior, not a forecast.
• The weekday and hourly figures rest on hundreds of observations each and are solid. The 168-cell grid divides the same data far more finely, so read the pattern rather than the precise value of any one square.
• The cheap/normal/expensive verdict places a forward-looking estimate against realised history. Treat it as a rough placement rather than an exact percentile.
• Exchange withdrawal fees are each platform's published figure. Promotions, tiers and account status can change what you are actually charged.
• When the mempool empties, every priority tier collapses toward the relay minimum and paying more buys nothing.

Corrections

If a number here looks wrong, it is worth saying so — being right is the entire product.
