Ethereum transaction fees are a nightmare

They want you to keep buying and never sell - that's why the fees are high! When it hit the all time high earlier this week, I SOLD my original position. They only thing left in my account now is profit. You should do the same.

BTC and ETH are both not good coins. They have high fees because they're not truly decentralized. So when they hit a lot of transactions the cost to propagate that info increases dramatically.

So the fees rise and rise and people think its normal. Its NOT. BTC and ETH do this because they're terrible coins. Everyone wants to use them because they don't know how broken they are.

Coins like Dash have instant transactions with fees below a penny. All the time, every time. Why? Because unlike BTC, ETH, BCH, XMR and almost every other coin out there, Dash pays its full nodes to support the network.

In BTC, ETH and other coins only miners get paid. So the only people who volunteer and can afford to run a full node are those who mine. This causes bottlenecks that drive the price of transactions up as the network approaches its transactional limit.

Not in Dash. In Dash, since the miners AND node operators are paid from the block reward with fourty five percent going to miners and fourty five percent going to Master nodes, and the remaining ten percent serving as a "budget" to be voted on by those master node owners.

This creates a triple coin spreading mechanism that not only increases Dash's userbase, but also allows for things that other networks cannot accomplish, like instant transactions, on-chain privacy, and eternally low fees (beneath 1 penny).

Because of inertia, other coins cannot adopt these features, which means that Dash will be the only scalable, cheap coin for cryptocurrencies.

fees don't rise and rise..

they are set based on network activity at the time of the transaction.

so they could be up now and down later today.

Sell it, just moving the stuff is too costly.

Couldn't even send old LEND token to binance to sell the Aave to cash out.

BUT BUT BUT it's the future......grrrrgh..

Once bitten twice shy!

Sounds like a great system...NOT!

Wait a few days its gone a little crazy right now.

Later when eth2.0 hits it will be cheap.

No. They rise due to increasing demand. The only reason they don't "rise and rise" is because there are TRANSACTIONAL LIMITS placed on each protocol to prevent the network from being oversaturated with demand and causing nodes that cannot afford to run to drop off the network.

The fees are NOT supposed to be $2-40 per transaction. They are only that high because Eth and BTC DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. They don't work properly because they are poorly designed relative to the environment they are in.

Only Dash will survive the first generation of coins because only Dash can afford to.

invest in QRL

Hahaha is it?

Right now its cheaper for me to send money through the banks than it is to use ETH.

Yeah I had to stop a moment to let that sink in a bit.

I just move it all into a thether type coin

I am truly surprised at how little you actually know.

There are better chains
