Yeah same situation. Needed to send something over ETH fast, and it was over $300. Mind you this was a year ago when all those ponzies were rampant and gas was over 1000 gwei
Yeah cant help myself but to do the apeing cause the potential gains is also crazy good. However when I realized those fees, its really kinda sucks to remember paying up that much for such token gains to be generated. Uniswap and eth really take a good earning there by fees.
