RE: How do Bitcoin fees work?

in #bitcoin7 years ago

It cost way too much. how are you supposed to use bitcoin to buy anything for you local shop when it costs just as much in fee's!

pretty sure ive paid 3$ fees at least before just so my transaction doesnt get stuck in the ether.

You're definitely not wrong. Right now Bitcoin isn't really useable as a mass payment system, it's been relegated to a settlement layer. Still useful, but definitely not as exciting. My next post takes an in depth look at the challenges of scaling Bitcoin. Hopefully a solution is sooner than you think!
