    Bitcoin fees high as shit lately

    It makes me upset.

    It’s probably because everyone thinks they’re a pro investor now

    When will things go back to normal? Someone who actually knows, tell me bitcoin fees will go back to normal soon

    Sam that’s cool, sometimes that’s cool I guess for a bonus to cover your stupid bitcoin fees.

    It’s just lately been shitty

    Like one time last week I started with $100 and by the time it went into cash app to blockchain to SB it was $88. Just now I transferred $512 (withdrawal was $510, I always withdraw a little extra to cover fees, got lucky on the extra $2 when I checked wallet) from blockchain to Coinbase pro, it’s gonna hit as $499. The fee by itself was almost $10 just to transfer. Like what the fukkin bloody hell mate. I’m tired of this

    stay away from the bonuses, the books today have the stupid crazy rollovers, never take a bonus today.it just another tool the books use to make you lose.

    Especially high if you use an in between buffer like Blockchain to Coinbase transfers. Buffer bitcoin/crypto wallets are overrated. Go straight to Coinbase.

    Nothing bad has happened to me over the years transferring bitcoin addresses directly to Coinbase from the books. Works every time and I never had a problem.

    It's just a bitcoin cyber address so what bad things could happen on transferring directly to coinbase? It eventually goes their anyways in most cases with a bitcoin cyber address? Very hard to trace addresses anyways. Especially if you are just dealing with a few thousand bucks here and there, no alarm bells will go off.

    Now if you're dealing in millions and it's drug money and you are using Crypto addresses to somehow launder it all tax free that could be a different story and a problem.

    That's just my take. I have a blockchain account now and I don't use it. Coinbase is all you need to use and I will continue to use just that only with no fear.

    Yeah I usually never take bonuses for this reason. If I get hot, as I was yesterday and today, I like to take a little pull off it just to make sure the deposit at least got me a hard return. Don’t like dealing with rollovers

    Most everything offshore is negotiable

    makeup your own bonus % and R/O

    call them up then lay it out

    Past 24 hrs on the COINBASE graph and charts shows XRP up 12.65% now if you bought in just 24hrs ago. I just said the past 24hrs.. Check Paper if you are on Coinbase. Their tracking graphs charts are reliable.

    You can adjust the fee that you're paying

    Stop using blockchain wallet.

    If you're using a good wallet, you can change the fee that you're paying.

    Samouri wallet is my favorite (for mobile).

    It'll show you the default fee (usually to get into the next block), but you can lower the fee.

    I just got 3 separate transactions into Betonline and I paid 42 sats per byte, 45 sats/byte, and 47 sats/byte.

    The wallet was default recommending 90 sats per byte. Looking at a different mobile wallet I use, it's showing 121 sats per byte as recommended.

    Look at a tool like : bitcoiner.live to see what current fee's are. If you need to get the transaction done immediately, then you'll want to use the high fee. If you can wait a few hours, or even... Overnight, you can pay significantly less.

    Replace by fee is something that the good wallets allow. Meaning you can pay a smaller fee, and if you're transaction isn't going through, you can boost it. Again, Samouri is a good one.

    To reiterate, Blockchain wallet is one of the worst wallets you can be using. Switch to a better wallet.

    Currently using Mycelium wallet and they want to charge me $100 (155 sat) to send $4k in bitcoin.

    This seems way higher than normal.

    What fee should I be paying for a transaction like this?

    Just swith to litecoin. It is a good investment right now too. It's basically bitcoin but faster to confirm, cheaper to send, and can do more transactions per second. It's catching on. Move on bitcoin sucks.

    Bitcoin was a great idea and was first but somebody made it better. Litecoin is built on same technology but it’s faster/cheaper to move/and can handle more transactions. Something else might win out in end, but I like litecoin right now. Bitcoin has become an investment rather than a realistic way to pay people for things as it was originally intended. Litecoin is better used for bitcoins original purpose. If bitcoin didn’t get bogged down so much and fees weren’t high I think you’d see more brick and mortar places accepting it. Something else has to emerge that has more day to day purchase application.

    Huge purchase like a house or laundering drugs. Sure bitcoin is still the way to go. Can wait fifteen minutes to an hour and pay a $10 fee. Buying a donut ? Not going to happen. But the technology is there for transactions under a penny. Less than ************ charge the business. Something will get adopted eventually.

    Why you're using BTC for transactions? BTC is not suitable for transactions. Use ETH and USDT. Much lower fees.
