Slow blockchain

It has been noted by many people including myself how slow the blockchain has been. It may have been the huge load of transactions on the network. At this time any bitcoin transaction will be pending for hours and hours and possibly days. It is better to hold on any transactions for now to avoid pending transactions. This would go a long way to help ease the load on the network. Blockchain as we all know has no office to lay complains to. Avoid sending bitcoins at least for two days and try after. I just bought bitcoin and up till now it has been several hours now and its still pending. It usually takes three confirmations for transactions to be confirmed. In my case none of the confirmation is confirmed. I also did send bitcoin to a friend and still its pending. He also complained of the slow network in the blockchain. For the mean time hold on to any transactions as i mentioned to save yourself the hassle.
