Why Do People Always Forget What Happens When Charts Look Like This?

in bitcoin •  8 years ago 

Bitcoin isn't mass adoption ready. The average confirmed transaction fee today is $3. Median confirmed transaction fee is $2. Both are growing exponentially. Wait times are longer and longer. The various scaling solutions are no closer than ever to actually being achieved on the network. It's an absolute pain to use, even for those who are quite familiar with it. How can you honestly tell yourself that's mainstream ready?

What are you talking about? I can send a transaction with 10 cent fee only. If you pay 2-3 dollar per transaction you must be either out of your mind or you have thousands of micro transactions in your input.

Very interested in these 10 cent bitcoin transactions....

You better know what to do. ;)

You could have said this a year ago, it is straight up false today. The median transaction size is still 226 bytes, so this is NOT unusual transactions. For unusual transactions you can be paying upwards of $10.

Can you give a source on your $0.10 fee claim? How many such transactions are being confirmed?
