Just yesterday I needed to send, but I have an "exchange" hot wallet. Paid only 15k sats so still under a dollar. Bring high fees on!
For you unfortunately I have some bad news:
15,000 SATS = 6.57 USD
Oops hehe I can't believe my math is so bad, all this while I'm thinking of mbtc and satoshi and for some reason I know mbtc = x40, but satoshi I forgot to x4. So I paid almost $7 for $300+ (7 mbtc yesterday).
It's still ok though. I pay wire with my bank many issues:
- fill in long form because foreign guy
- Friday send only process Monday. Monday process only arrive Thursday (3 work days + timezone)
- 3% flat fee
- bank rate forex bad
So yes even in high fee, I love sending BTC.
and yet banks invented debit cards to save on filling in forms and excess fee's
whenever i go abroad and use debit card i dont have your fiat experience..
and yet bitcoin is becoming worse than fiat.
natively im british so my bank wire transfers of fiat are free. but now bitcoin has been the thing with huge fee's
i remember the days when bitcoin was advertised as a the remittance system for international currency exchange tht was cheaper the using WU.. now western union is cheaper then bitcoin..
yet core devs love the fee mania and congestion. it helps advertise their corporate sponsors alternate currency networks
