    Just paid 22% in bitcoin fees from purchase to wallet to book

    If this happens again I’m going legit.

    And before you dorks come in like “well have you tried faglytherium you can negotiate down to one cent per hypersplasia” fukk that I’m not doing that this shouldn’t be any more difficult than it currently is

    I do this as well. Coinbase or cashapp straight to the book and back. Never had a problem although I don't send 10k or more ever. But have done this for the past 3 years and have never been asked one question. I know in the past several posters have said they were blocked or account was closed. But I have never had a problem. Haven't ever been questioned one time about my transactions.

    Unde, Rudy, jibbby...might be time for me to nut up and skip the wallet.

    I don’t want to go legit. Stateside lines are so shitty.

    If my cashapp got suspended or cancelled I’d be upset though. But maybe it’s worth it just to see haha

    Well I have used cashapp for almost all my transactions for the past year. I cashed out of bovada 9.5k just two weeks ago. Send it straight back and then into my checking account in an hour. I am not paying the fees. I have deposited and cashed out to multiple books several times in the last year. In fact almost 100% of my cashapp transactions are doing business with bovada and justbet. Again nothing ever said to me. Most of the transactions are for thousands of dollars. I will keep doing it until they start giving me the business about it.

    Not telling you what to do. I would sure hate to have you do it then get banned but like I said as long as you aren't stupid about it I highly doubt anyone ever says a thing. I have done it for years. Good luck to you. It is hard enough beating books I am not going to give hundreds of dollars of it back because the blockchain wants to rob me.

    How many times can you get bitcoin banned? Quite a few now.

    How likely are you to get bitcoin banned? Not very.

    How often will you get hit for ridiculous fees by scammers? Every time.

    Make larger deposits and bet smaller and make your deposits last. If you are not depositing all that often, it should not be a problem and if it is there are alternatives.

    If you are sending money all the time, you probably need to stop. Just bet at SBR.

    I've probably sent 30 or 40 times without a problem. Had money sent to plenty of times directly.

    I would not mind at all getting banned. I can guarantee you the book will figure out a way for you to deposit if you ask.

    Can you share which wallet you are using? Were you given a choice of paying less (and waiting longer) when you initiated the transaction?

    Yeah fees are a joke right now with BTC and ETH, maybe that's the reason for coins like Nano and Hathor pumping. Those have no fees. I think the future of cryptos is coins with no fees. Who wants to pay more fees than what banks charge? It defeats the purpose of using cryptos daily

    I meant to give you ten points for this haha...

    The thing is no matter what wallet I’m using or any of that shit none of this shit should be so complex. The book says use bitcoin. I use bitcoin. Then bitcoin fleeces me.

    But I’ll start playing with fire I guess and go from purchase directly to the book. And how about getting withdrawals directly to coinbase, how does this go? I usually withdraw a bunch extra to make up for those fees. What do you guys do if you ever withdraw

    Withdrawals are pretty fast nowadays so those go pretty well. You usually get what they sent.

    Ugh, I don't recommend going directly from exchanges to books and vice a versa. That's a sure way for you to get banned from exchanges. Not a big deal to get banned from books but there aren't too many exchanges for Americans. I know the fees are high right now but don't take the risk. It's not worth it

    If you want to do a lot of withdrawals just move from one book to another. You are not getting banned doing that.

    In case anyone’s wondering I go cashapp-blockchain wallet-book for deposits and book-blockchain wallet-coinbase for withdrawals.

    I’ve done each of those many times.

    The fees kick in after blockchain wallet on deposits or withdrawals. I think most understand this but wanted to clarify I’m used to this process but these days the fees are enough to take a nun’s virginity during confession

    I know Rudy has given some specific instructions to avoid wallet but don’t know if anyone else had any experience there.

    Anything I know about doing bitcoin deposits/withdrawals I learned from SBR so willing to learn but everything beyond what I’m doing now seems sketchy and with risk

    With CB now being a publicly traded company as of a few days ago on nasdaq my guess is people should be a lot more careful moving btc and should always use a middle wallet. CB is going to be under a lot more scrutiny now than they ever were before. Just remember why using the two money sending companies had to stop catering to offshore and that will be CBs future jmo

    They are a FDIC insured bank. That is a bigger deal than being listed.
