    Wow! I hadn't used my blockchain wallet in awhile. The fee was ridiculous. I only moved 101.86 of BTC and the fee was 15

    See my previous posts. I said that the BtC fee could become an issue.

    Yep, BTC is for hodling. Not for daily transactions.

    LOL yep, the whole point of BT-C was for anonymous transactions like for sending gambling money overseas.

    Now it cost 14 or 15 dollars to send 50 or $100. And all of a sudden people want to treat it like a stock investment &

    just sit there and hold it and stare at the price every day. Not that I care, but so much for its original purpose!

    Be careful with Blockchain.com. They have had security issues.
    Should be fine to use as a middle man, but do not use to store.

    Blockchain.com is losing customers funds (honestproscons.com)

    Anything to worry about? Does it open a window for a different coin? I repeat my comment about MUCH of the world population being impoverished and how they won't enjoy fees that constitute a hi% of their T/A.
    Wednesday I sent an identical sum from the same source to two different sports books at essentially the same time using two different coins. The BTC fee was 0.9% and the ETH fee was 1.2%. I believe the ETH transaction cleared faster, but both were within an hour.

    Earlier I had transferred the two coins from Coinbase Pro to this intermediate source. The BTC fee was 0.06% (trivial amount), while the ETH transaction cost 1.2%. If these are indicative, then I don't see using ETH again.

    Salud, bsims. Thanks for the info. Yeah, hi gas-fees for ETH (as they call it).

    I did a LTC t/a yesterday. Was very happy. The confirmations come thru within minutes, and the fee was micro-scopic.

    LTC seems to be the best for those transactions right now. Instantaneous and very very low fee.
    ETH used to have reasonable fees but has gotten out of control. I read that the fees are cheaper at night.
    When I tried that out, the gas was only $7. Not bad for sending a bunch to cold storage.

    I think almost every coin should double if the Bull cycle continues.

    The question is which ones will do much better.

    You say "very safe. lol"

    Several people in this thread have told it is trash and security is an issue.

    I hope you do good with it, but realize it has issues and will not have a higher roi than 50 other coins.

    If you want to present any good info here on why it is a solid choice, go right ahead.

    But otherwise touting BCH is like touting a D rated sportsbook.

    Not my favorite coin. Would like to feel better about the absolute supply.

    Put it this way. I would consider selling some ETH for walk-around $$. Conversely, no way I'm selling my BTC.

    I feel the same way as you do about letting go of any BTC, but I am feeling the same way about my ETH right now.

    Amazing that ETH was $119 a little over a year ago.

    Luckily I have a few other coins that have done well for me and I will take profit from those in a couple months.

    Been holding tight on everything, and glad I did.

    Y'all get ready for ETH to explode to even higher highs! Simply because I moved all my ETH to my Bit-Pay

    cred-card last night at ETH price of $1992. I can't have the shit sitting there like y'all or I'd send it in and

    gamble it like I've already done about 6 times in the last 3 weeks. Oh well it is on the C-card now!

    Y'all enjoy the huge gains that are coming!

    I think my ETH S-book payouts were at $1700 so I still made over 10% in 2 or 3 weeks!

    I would’ve bought some weeks ago as you suggested, but I have no other money after I bought some FIL for 5k. Takes money to make money & my investments are limited, poor man grinder.

    It can be done, I started in Crypto with approx. 13k of my own cash in early 2018, Its now worth approx. 270k (obv my holdings have changed since then but you get what I'm saying)

    You came in at a very good time buddy, congrats. I have nearly 60k spread across BTC, ETH, LTC & now FIL. I have about 3.5k in my Bookmaker & Heritage sports accounts & no other money to invest. I usually keep 2,500 in the checking for monthly bills. So I’m missing out on potential gains since I’m basically strapped to buy more new coins. My new job will just keep my checking account a float. I haven’t had a full time job for more than 30 days since 2016. Just been making money online with sports & crypto. Now I work at a local casino which is cool.

    I don’t understand the “Sell Your Ethereum” craze going on, it’s literally the only platform w/ build potential that’s proven right now? ADA and DOT still with lots to prove...that tells me they want your Ethereum...I am not selling a drop

    I don't know why anyone would sell it right now either. Obviously people aren't even using it to make transactions.

    People are just buying it and sitting there holding it! I only sold my ETH at $1992 last night because I can't hold the

    shit without sending it in and gambling it. Hell it is already up over 5% (almost 10%) more since last night.



    Edit, I mean it was dumb to sell/transfer it to my bitpay card right before the weekend when all the crypto


    goes up, AND it was dumb to sell it in April which has always been a great month for cryp. But I was


    afraid I'd gamble it on the final 4 if I didn't convert it! Hell I guess I coulda waited til FRI/ today!

    Question for all y'all that deal, trade, use, move crypto way more than me.

    Is their a cheaper wallet for me to use vs blockchain? I have Coinbase for just me buying and holding, but I was told not to use it as a wallet for moving anything, and to have a separate wallet for that. I do play around and scalp BTC on Robinhood, but that's all I can do - buy, sell, buy, sell, etc.

    So if I choose a different wallet vs Blockchain will I get cheaper fees?

    What about any of these: Biance, Point Pay, or Paxful?

    Appreciate it.

    Neither of them are "utile" right now. The buying & holding of them has made their original intended purpose

    (using them for anonymous transactions) ridiculous now. I mean fees. Now it cost around $20 to send $50 or $100.
