So......I went to do this today. I saw it would cost about $30.00 to transfer $500 in BTC ($470 after fees), so i decided to follow the advice on here and do it thru GDAX for less that .25%.
Sounded like a great idea and innovative way to save some $$$.
quick rant
$30 for a god dam transfer of $470 after the purchase fees? SO.....most people have to work over an hour to transfer $470 in BTC now, after paying the Coinbase purchase fee? This shit is getting ridiculous!
/rant over
So now I have been waiting 5+ hours for my funds to leave Coinbase/GDAX.
Over 5 fucking hours and i can see the transaction on Coinbase as "Pending."
5+ hours of pending. This is bullshit.
It's like some rich white crooked asshole politicians recently woke and conspired:
"Randolph, I know how we can make an ass load of money in a hurry by fucking over the fringe users of the internet. It's call Bitcoin, and no one will suspect a thing, and the kicker is, these idiots are addicted to a product they get with it, so they will have no choice but to get royally ass raped! And we profit!"
ROFL! If you still don't know about tx fees on btc right now, that's your own damn fault. Buy LTC or ETH.
