Bitcoin is an annoyingly fickle currency

Doesn't it seem like the value of bitcoin always goes down at the most inconvenient times, like when you buy a sizable amount? But then it'll randomly skyrocket when you have like $5 left in your wallet.

Don't get me started on the fees. you'd think that you already paid your fair share of fees when you first buy your bitcoin, but then when it comes time to transfer to a market, you'll find you're like $1-2 short because of value fluctuation or additional blockchain fees. That's when it's time to use coinbase to buy tiny amounts of coin because it's one of the few places to get instant BTC and I fucking hate that service even for small amounts because the fees are rape.

Added to fact that If the state I lived in didn't have illegal marijuana laws, I would probably have no reason to even use DNM because I mostly just get weed.

Bitcoin is literally at its highest ever point. You posted this an hour ago, it's likely you have enough money right now to make whatever purchase you were talking about. Right now, this minute, is the highest bitcoin has EVER been.

Mtgox took my interest away from btc and then I realised its actually a banskter scheme and to get adoption like it has been they hid their involvement. Everything is logged and tracked on a blockchain and you cant deny the assets exist. Freedom and privacy is actually quite low. So its basically a road test for the cashless society. They made it trendy by making it not look like a banking cartel project.

What are odds the mtgox start guy jed then made XRP - the banks coin. Its all suspect when you look at the industry from start to finish.

i hattttte fee/slow transfer issues. it has gotten to the point where i just say fuck it and set the fee to 1-2 blocks of wait time. prolly costing a lot per transaction but oh well. plus everything is hella slow right now. i feel your pain. not to mention dat fluctuation omg. one day 1700 then next 1900. i lose/make money on a daily basis haha. if you ever have your fees set to low. or suspect as such. a CPFP transaction will save your life. look into it. its gotten me out many unconfirmed low fee transactions. it allows you to basically up your fee if it was set too low. plus using a tx accelerator. at the beginning of the hour.

Try mushrooms and 2c-b at least once in your life. 2c-b preferably with significant other.

Yeah IDK what's with bitcoin fees lately. I remember when I always put 0 for the fee with no problem, now all the wallets seem to force a $.25-.50 fee every transaction. Like that's not too much better than paypal or credit card transactions, especially for small purchases. Anyone know why there are big block chain fees now?
