Sobering image I can remember with incredulity people posting here that one day Bitcoin would be the price of 1 oz gold. Now we are talking of Bitcoin overtaking market cap of gold. Also that institutions would one day be purchasing Bitcoin. Never in a million years I thought, a pipe dream. So here we are, thanks to all those who could see what the future would bring. I do still have some gold and silver The old Jew hating R0ach will be pleased silver is 2X when he was posting but Bitcoin 30X. |

Holy shit, I decided to purge out some old threads in my watch list and I deleted one from the alt section and just because I haven't looked at that board in years now I decided to see what was being posted and I ran into the funniest post I have seen in years! I think you guys will get a chuckle out of this one!  Just wanna share this with you guys...maybe...just maybe it will help calm my nerves down I found what i consider a gem today, so i was in a hurry to buy some before more people discover it and the price begins to go up, being an erc-20 token and only listed on uniswap and 1inch, i needed eth and i had zero eth on my wallet, fortunately, i had about $163 usd in my local bank account so i immediately took out $150 usd to buy some eth, after successfully buying eth from a centralized exchange, i quickly withdrew it to my trust wallet, the exchange took about $22 usd for Ethereum transfer fees so i was left with about $128 usd when the eth hit my trust wallet. i quickly headed to uniswap to purchase my precious new found ticket to the moon, with my $128 usd in eth, i could have easily purchase about 2000 of the tokens but due to eth high fees, i brought it down to 1000 tokens so as to enable have some eth left for fees but surprisingly, when i clicked on swap, i was told that i don't have enough eth to cover the transaction fees, how much was the fees??? behold ! $87 usd, i was shocked, i didn't want to buy less than 1000 tokens so i decided to adjust the fees, after adjusting, i was able to bring the fee down to $42 usd, i was warned that my transaction might take a very long time before confirmation o might even be cancelled, i took my shot and clicked the submit button. so the wait began ... 1 hour -- i was still waiting for a confirmation 3 hours -- i was still waiting for a confirmation 4 hours -- i was still waiting 5th hour came and some where in the middle of it, i got a notification from trust wallet that my transaction has been confirmed... i was happy, i quickly rushed to etherscan to view the transaction. lo and behold,, the transaction was confirmed but the token purchase didn't pull through, it returned an error saying like purchase wasn't successful due to low gas shit shit shit...WHAT THE F...KING HELL .. my $42 usd gone just like that  ?? i was so fucking mad, in fact, if i knew where vitalik was, i would have called security men to have him arrested, i was devastated, i felt like crying, i was so mad at my wife and kid like its their fault,...it wasn't funny, out of $128 usd, i had just $86 usd left, i couldn't buy my precious ticket to the moon no more, its really a bad day for me today, i lost $150 usd just like that, that was all i had left in my local bank account, and now its gone all because of Ethereum high fees. |

See, see, see... This is even quite some understatement. WO is THE church of Bitcoin, not just some freaky minority praying to the gods of bananas, shells, potatoes or gold coins (ask Peter Schiff).  I don't trust people with simple views on complex topics. |

That sucks. I'm fortunate to have the funds. Yesterday I spent $500 on moving funds to a new stake only to see today that that contract was being canceled and to move to a new stake. Which I ended up doing for about $150. |

I didn't know a ticket to the moon was a mere $150 though. |

Which I ended up doing for about $150. Yep, that stuff (even simple contracts) is unusable right now with $100-150 fees. Tx cost to send is similar to btc in about $7 range. I am not too happy to pay $7/btc tx, but sometimes you have to. |

Speaking of hilarious ETH issues: I just checked the latest monthly email update from the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA) @EntEthAlliance (founded 4 years ago) and checked the "Noteworthy Technical Updates" section and I nearly died  |
