I don't think there are many reasons to celebrate this huge value of bitcoin... it seems like a 100% bubble to me now. 
I've a transaction awaiting a single confirmation for 4 consecutive days... Even though I paid some 0.001 bitcoin as fee.

Bitcoin is not able to process the high number of transactions, not at all.
that fee is currently far, far too low and it's been that way for quite a while. it sucks but that's how it is.
Agree, my transaction now is about $2 also , it really sucks the blockchain right now. Price is really huge and im really tempted to sell my bitcoin but upon transfering it is really a problem wew! i hope i would received it and you too. The bigger bitcoin you transact now the slower you can get it , it should be fixed soon
