Yes its the dumb ass like you dont understand the economic of bitcoin infrastructure. You can send btc with any amount as a fee. But that tx will not be confirmed for a very long time.
I know how Bitcoin works. Im making a point. I am able to send up to $5,000 completely free of charge from one Chase bank account to another persons Chase bank account, instantly. With no miner fees or waiting time either.
What a dumbass I am. And now you see another reason why consumers have zero incentive to use Bitcoin. Because dumbasses like you think this is a "dumbass" thing to take issue with. Rather than addressing it as a real issue for future consumer adoption. Which it is.

You can send 5.BTC from your coinbase account to mine with no fees. Try to send $0.05 , $5.00 or even $5,000 from your account at chase to any other bank, or convert it from USD to Chinese Yan.
You can also send that $0.24 with no tx fee or for that matter $0.005 if you wanted. If the app that you are using doesn't allow you to change it, that is not a problem with the block chain rath with the app you are using.
I was thinking the same exact thing. It is all good if you want to move money in their network but outside of that the fees are high and your options are limited. Today in a world driven by technology and business, makes the future of Bitcoin look very bright. The old and current banking models do not compare to Bitcoins ability to benefit it users and evolve in a future with a thriving free market. Which is where I think we're headed.
