12$ for 1 transaction is a big fee to kill BTC
(Note that fees are denominated in BTC, not fiat.) I am regularly making transactions for between
the equivalent of 2¢ and 20¢—that’s right, $0.02 to $0.20, depending on how heavily loaded the network is. Worst case recently was
the equivalent of about a dollar. How the hell are you spending
the equivalent of USD $12 for 1 tx? Are you using some stupid exchange? Are you not using Segwit? Even that would not explain it. For a typical transaction by an individual, you are overpaying by at least
tenfold!Or are you just spreading FUD against Bitcoin due to some other agenda?
I think BTC will die soon
I think another coin will change the world but not BTC
...and you?
It's the same problem I guess and it's definitely unfair considering how much I'm sending and the crazy expensive the transaction fee is. I'm better of sending money using fiat instead. I don't really want to use bitcoins to transfer money if it is really cheap.
So, go ahead: Use fiat. Paypal sounds about right for you.
Also, I suggest that you should try reading. How does all this complaining about fees appear in this stupid thread
directly after I posted a
notice that fees are low right now and you can make them lower by using Segwit addresses:
