Completely useless garbage to fleece money from people chasing the Next Thing.

Just another way to funnel money upwards.

That's my feeling too. Has a cryptokitty aura.

So I tried to play around with this, I bought $500 worth of USDT and transferred it to my Coinbase wallet with the intention of converting it to SHIB. But it's telling me to do that I need to put $940 worth of ETH in my wallet to cover the miner fee, which is absolutely bonkers. I then tried to send the USDT back to my regular Coinbase account so I could sell it, but it still wants $120 of ETH just for that fee. So am I screwed? I can't do anything with the USDT in my wallet without losing over $100 of it in fees?

Just for the time being, due to the current very high Ethereum transaction fees caused by the current craze in meme coins.



At some point, probably no later than the update in July, the fees should return to the more normal levels seen in late April and early May.

Also, if you have funds in Binance they offer a couple of trading pairs for Shiba which would avoid many of these costs.

I'm waiting for Chihuahua coin to be released. I think that's going to be the good one.

I'm a cat guy, so I'm holding out for Calico.

I think they will be highly lucrative. They are just a digital collectable. The NBA top shots is a good implementation. People blow thousands on candy crush so why not limited edition digital crap.

Will these become digital rights for holders to collect royalties on sports highlight replays? Like owning Crosby's Golden Goal and collecting fees every time someone uses it for commercial purposes.

As I've mentioned before, if you are going to transfer crypto between wallets, buy it in XLM and send it, then convert. Barring XLM, use BCH.

Literally a fraction of any other transfer price.

Transferred some TRX today. Fee was .1, so just over a tenth of a cent and confirmation was very quick.

Yeah there are a handful of cheap transfer coins, good to know TRX is there too.

Anything that uses the ETH chain however is exhorbitant right now.

Uh, was this news to him? Like, did he not know this before he dumped over a billion dollars into it? He can't be that daft. Or maybe he can. I can never quite tell with him.

Probably Bitcoin again. It's conveniently discounted now.
