Gas fees are an issue when buying/selling a coin that's only on an ETH based Dex like Uniswap. Moving from exchange to wallet isn't that bad. It's the $300 fee to confirm/$400 fee to buy/sell that's ridiculous.

I just ignore ETH all together. It's just not worth it. The 300 you spend could be a 10x.



A reputable exchange will not keep your money. Binance abruptly added mandatory KYC and still allowed USA users to withdraw funds.
I agree, there's too many other projects and workarounds for me to just willingly pay gas fees like that.

I missed out on Shib in Jan due to the trash ETH network, the same with saitama and my Hoge investment has since brought a nice return but uniswap is acting up and the gas are just ludicrous.

It's the biggest pos block chain, can't wait until Sol or BEP20 topples it.

I've had the best luck in the weekends (early Sunday morning). Fees are crazy during the week and don't see them getting better anytime soon

For y’all brehs who use ku coin how do I know what the fees are, do they vary ?

i sent some Bitcoin from ku coin to Coinbase to cash out and that shyt took a chunk of my money.

I like using ku coin cause they have so many coins but damn if they gonna tax me like this gains damn near pointless

I guess I’m still not completely understanding gas fees

if you’re trying to sell to cash out profits from KC to CB you’re better off selling to USDT on KC then buying XLM then sending to CB and selling for USDT, that’s the cheapest way … xlm has no sending fees

The best way to avoid fees is to either buy your crypto on Coinbase Pro and keep it there for a few days until they let you move it or buy something like XLM that has dirt cheap transaction fees. I'll deposit the money I intend on buying stuff with onto CB Pro, I think after like 3 to 5 days you can withdraw it without any transfer fee. It's not ideal for impulse buying, but if you have a plan and general strategy that includes regularly putting money there so you can pull the trigger when need be it's good.

If I want to get something right away and not pay gas fees I'll get it on KuCoin. I'll buy XLM on Coinbase and eat their fee (latest example, I bought 1000 worth of XLM, the fee was like $15, I hate it but yeah whatever) and send it to KuCoin for literally nothing.

After it's on KuCoin, sell the XLM for USDT and buy the coin you want. All of that movement costs you whatever Coinbase's cut is vs paying gas fees and getting wrecked.

My brother wanted to buy $50 worth of this coin called POOL the other night, he sent me a screenshot of the wallet fees. It gave him a MATIC option and an ETH option
:mjlol:

The ETH gas fee was $72 dollars, so it would have cost him $122 for $50 worth of the shyt he was buying. He ended up getting the MATIC version of course, but yeah... fukk that shyt brehs
ETH is more for the whales imo unless you dropping five figures i wouldn't bother. BSC is where the lil guy can get a nice flip although that comes with it's own challenges a lot of poverty traders who don't know shyt about investing so you get a lot of fools dumping the chart into the ground even selling the dip can be a complete mess on that chain. The dumb azz people on bsc is hysterical :mjlol:
