Fees are getting stupid. Just paid about 5 bucks for a transfer, as suggested by my wallet.
Wallet software fail probably. First block inclusion is at around 1.2$ right now.

The fastest and cheapest transaction fee is currently 270 satoshis/byte, shown in green at the top.
For the median transaction size of 226 bytes, this results in a fee of 61,020 satoshis.
It was probably oversized tx in terms of bytes (like 2-3 inputs) so the fee per byte was lower (hence lower priority).
Still, it's not like everyone can expect to be paying the same amount they receive all the time. Imagine a future reality in which you can choose to deal in Bitcoin for most things - what would happen to people like convenience store merchants who accept a lot of small payments? They'd have to exchange their Bitcoin to fiat all the time.
