The high gas fee situation is exactly what Rubic is trying to resolve + make the transactions anonymous.

What I love about this post is that is paints a beautiful picture of a coin boosting in value despite being so damn hard to purchase. Now that’s a bullish coin. Feelsgoodman.jpeg.

just fucking help me understand this. How the fuck do I avoid gas fees? Is this even possible? With my $94 in ETH I bought $44 worth of ZEE and have $24 in ETH left from using Zerion. Is ETH the only thing that has gas? when my USDC clears will that also suffer the same fate? I need a guide to all this shit

Everything on erc-20, including your usdc, uses gas. Sending wallet to wallet is like $5 tho and if you spend $50 or $5000 on uniswap it's essentially the same gas cost. I've spent over 26 eth in gas in the last 6 months, welcome to shitcoining lol

First off, checked. Secondly, Anon you may be new but your experiences are not. You're not retarded, until the experience is more streamlined, mass adoption won't occur. That being said, this is what keeps normies from blockchain stuff, so if you're holding the right coins that make mass adoption happen, you'll be well off. I just tried to buy FTM and it was a $66.58 gas fee. Unless you're buying actual bags, it's hard to justify. Keep at it you'll figure it out. Coinbase is simple and effective but limited uses. Just buy GRT. Then buy RBC on UniSwap and just pay the gas. Or deposit a lot more to make the gas fee not hurt as bad.

so whats the best cost effective way to convert my USD into any coin I want to invest in? what is the absolute bare minimum USD to start trading and profiting? Are you only investing in penny stocks? How do you blow through over 30 grand in fees ?

>> No.27585841

Don’t listen to all the faggots laughing at you. Everyone has to start somewhere, and crypto is a fucking pain in the ass. Trust me though just hang in and make some educated investments that you can afford and learn to hold. I know just about fuck all and I’ve done nothing but profit. Gas fees are fucking retarded too but it’s something we have to deal with for now when trading ETH based coins. Still very very profitable if you play your cards right.

You did something for the first time and you made some mistakes you now won’t repeat. Welcome to the adult world of crypto where mommy isn’t going to hold your hand the whole time. Until you sent an anon developer on Bitcointalk 10 btc in the hope they give you tokens based entirely on trust you haven’t even experienced the tough wild side of crypto.

how much do you put into a single coin? I realized i jumped in too fast and should have done more research on all these new terms etc and cant wait to ditch coinbase

so what im understanding is that this isnt profitable unless you do over $1k investments. when theyre a fraction of a penny to counteract the gas fees
