I will keep all my bitcoin on 1 single address thank you and change it when I want.

Not spread it across many different directions/addresses everytime I send some btc causing much higher fees pretending my privacy is enhanced.

What a joke. What a con.

Many ways outside of the blockchain to increase privacy without clogging up bitcoin with such non sense.

I don't care if you think otherwise, I'm pretty mad/pissed/upset about it.

But whatever. Stay ignorant and keep paying higher fees. Roll Eyes

I mean really, do you like when you go to move all your funds at once and realize you really have much less -- cause all the fees that need to happen because now all your bitcoins were spread across many different wallet addresses..

That is appealing to you? OK. Whatever.

EDIT:

For those of you who don't know, pretty much every bitcoin wallet app is forcing you to use these change addresses, and thats why the more you use it the higher your fees have been at random times.

Unless you were sending a small amount and it was pulling that from 1 address, then the fees were normal.

But when you went to spend a higher amount, you were paying higher fees if it had to hit 2, 3, 4, etc wallets that your funds cause "change addressed" to over time.

It wasn't because you were sending more bitcoin, that isn't how bitcoin was meant to work. The fee is always the same no matter the amount as long as all the bitcoins are in 1 bitcoin address.

In the early days when you went to lookup your wallet address on the blockchain you would see all your funds in the wallet.

But now if you do that and had spent bitcoins since then, you'll see they were moved to other wallets. Some funds would stay behind again if you hadn't spent funds since receiving.

This is sick. You don't need this and it doesn't help your privacy not at least in a way thats worth the sick fees you pay over time.

But if you been using an exchange you might never notice, cause they doing it the old way where the fees stay 50 cents to a dollar.

Take coinbase, venmo, cashapp, paypal for example thats what they charge to send btc.

Cashapp lets you send btc free on lightning network but you have to send $25+ otherwise it as an option to pay $1 or $2

If you tried doing this yourself the fees would get out of control over time, because now most wallets for some reason changed to this stupid false privacy enhancement that really does nothing but give you the illusion you have much more privacy. It does cause some people a headache -- but not worth the fees you pay at all over the long run, not even close. And its only getting worse.

and once again using doge and ltc for small transactions stops this problem in its tracks.

this simple fact is not changing any time soon.

You can use bitcoin in a way that doesn't spread your funds across multuiple wallets everytime you go to send bitcoin. You just gotta find a wallet that supports it.
