What the hell is up with the BTC Network fees?

[BigJay]

I was going to send $100 to a book to take advantage of a bonus and make a play tonight. Network fee was $44.

Glad I looked at it first before just hitting send.

Thanks for the heads-up, BigJay.

Screw that. I bitch when I have to pay over 5 bucks to send.

I've been using Litecoin. I don't know what's going on with bitcoin but that's ridiculous. Litecoin or one of the other Alt coins might be a better option right now until things calm down but what do I know?

Exchanges can manipulate the fee structure for their benefit.

Good move, you saved a few % here and there on transactions while holding a shitcoin that has fallen 50% over the last 5 years (while BTC is up 700% over the same time period).

True, although we know that flow is in only one direction

Never use bitcoin the fees are just too high now

When was the last time you were right about anyting? And btw, fees are currently down to the usual $2 level.

I started using LibertyX Bitcoin ATMs my last yr un-regulated in 2021. You have to deposit the dollar amount you want to send in BTC. Bookmaker would always pick up the fees as long as I emailed them a copy of the receipt. There was 1 a few blocks from me Jay so it might be something to consider if it's conventionally located near you as well.
Just Google LibertyX near me

Thanks Dougy. I used them several years ago. No ATM back then. I had to go to a liquor store 10 miles away owned by a Pakistani and do the transaction at the cash register with a code. It was between 8-9 percent fee. I was playing mostly with Heritage back then and no way in hell they were paying the fees. Maybe did it 3 times in a pinch. Honestly MG was easier back then.

I have seen the Liberty X ATM in town. Had no idea BM reimbursed the fees.

Sure thing Jay
This was after I won 23k on Novak/Barty 2021 Wimb at FanDuel Casino & reloaded the profits at BM a few months later. These were all 5k reloads & BM would pick up the $400 fee
