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

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.

Yes I did. I'm pretty sure that people would rather believe me than you, and it's obvious why.
I could ask them to dig up the records easily.

And I paid $50 for a coke--not joking. Well, sort'a a joke at the time--last can of coke in the house, long story. That's not the point tho. The point, for the slow-to-grasp, is this:
Western Union is not normally used to transact in fiat. Cash, checks, debit, and credit cards are. Those are free to use, thus cheaper than Bitcoin, where every transaction costs something.
You asked for your example to be shown as shit, it was. I did.
Instead of thanking me for the lesson like a reasonable human being, you chose to sperge Undecided

But wait, OP and his crew are the smart ones. We, along with the executives of Microsoft are the delusional ones. Roll Eyes

Lol, I'd accept wooden nickels, as long as some payment processor took these wood chips & turned them into USD before i had to touch them.

Enjoy the pump, hope you had fun!
