We all pride ourselves on bitcoin this and bitcoin that.
I just set a very low fee for transactions on my electrum wallet. It's so low that is been hours and not even one confirmation yet. I assume that it will take days.
With this low fee, I had a look and it cost me .00041 btc for transaction. 8 dollars. Hahaha.  Wow. Explain to me people,  how is it better to use crypto currencies? Transaction taking days with a cost of  8.90 Australian dollars.
That's just pathetic.
Going back to Western union and bank transfers.

If you are comparing western union to bitcoin and you have no problem going back to it, then your goals to use bitcoin where never aligned with what bitcoin is.

If you still don't now how any of this works, give it a couple of years and then come back. Once every website on the planet accepts bitcoin payments through the lightning network nobody will be complaining about any of this anymore.
