Am I the only one realizing that ~$1 fee to make a transaction is absolutely insane and defeats one of the core benefits of using bitcoin for daily transactions.
This is getting insane and is completely uncalled for, or am I wrong?
For a very long while I have been reading about fees and since I had not transacted for long really did not care to look into this aspect, for transferring 0.84 I was asked to pay a fees of 1-2$ it's absolutely ridiculous and I thought coinbase.com to coinbase.com was free but even that's chargeable what's wrong with Bitcoin when will this trauma end. Any idea how to beat it for good.
The fees have increased and sometimes feels annoying, but you stated 0.84, is it BTC or $. If its $0.84 and you are being charged $1-2, then its quite unnatural, but if its in BTC then $1-2 is still acceptable as pe the current valuation. Recently I was charged $1.5 approx., to transact 0.04 BTC.
