Please find a flaw in this: I can send $1B with a fee of 40 cents or less.
Now go contact WU and ask them how much that would cost.  Roll Eyes

WU?  You mean Western Union?  To transfer a billion dollars?  Only on this forum, folks Roll Eyes

My bank charges me nothing for the transactions I make, it costs me nothing to write a check, it costs me nothing to use a debit card.
So if this billion-dollar transfer is a payment for a BTCeanie BTCaby, it would cost me exactly 40 cents less than a BTC transfer.

So now you know.
Stop trolling. I paid $25 to transfer $100 once via Western Union.
You pay a fee with banks as well, stop selling a fake story.

Of course you did.  And I've paid $50 for a coke.  There are stupid ways of sending money, and they are expensive.  Western Union is not how normal fiat transactions are done.  Certainly not how a billion-dollar transaction would be done.  If you know someone who tried to send a billion dollars via WU, give me his addy--I got some Bitcoin to sell him Smiley

If your bank charges you for writing checks and using a debit card, I suspect you have stumbled upon a fiat equivalent of Neo Bee.
