Local Man Gets in Shape While Waiting for Bitcoin Transaction to Confirm

Green Bay, WI - In the world of crypto, yet another success story has been written.

Local man Mike was excited to cash out recent profits made with virtual currency Bitcoin to which he had been investing for several years.

What Mike was not expecting, however, was the added health benefit that this brought him.

"Of course I was excited to cash out the profits", says Mike. "However, it came as a total surprise that it would take so long for the transaction to confirm. So I did the only thing I could: I decided to kill time by working out. Pushups, crunches, hindu squats... I did it all. When the transaction finally went through, I was in the best shape of my life!"

This is Mike now, after rigorous training during the time it took for the Bitcoin blockchain to finally confirm the transaction. The positive changes in Mike's life have not been limited to the obvious health benefits, either.

"I have a new job, a faster car, a better wife, I was able to get rid of my kids. I'm happy now. Really happy. And it's all thanks to Bitcoin! I'm forever grateful. This is the crypto revolution, guys!"

Yeah, or you could drink and smoke out of all the frustration. Then you use 1 BTC on drugs and get unhealthy ass well as an added benefit.

Slower than the DMV! This post has inspired me to learn a second language while my transaction confirms.

[serious talk below]
If you want to find out how much you'll have to spend on a transaction fee to have a quicker confirmation, this tool is the best:
https://bitcoinfees.21.co/

According to that site, currently to have a transaction compete against the rest of the mempool for getting in the next block, your fee for a common one-input, two-output transaction should be over 0.001 BTC. Or about $8 worth of BTC for a single transaction.

FWIW you can probably get away with half that fee if you didn't mind waiting less than a day. And transactions can be marked as replaceable. I think that's even default behavior in common clients.

Dash, PIVX, Bitshares can all do transactions under 2 seconds for a less than 1/10th the cost. Verge(XVG) also claims 5 second transactions though I haven't used it. I really have no idea why people even keep using the fork coin.
