Welcome to the future. Transaction fees are going to kill the Bitcoin network.

bitcoin core apparently sets the default transaction fee incredibly high to rip off new people who don't know to go into the settings and manually change the transaction fee to the minimum
>>1318316
just figured this out
this happen to anyone else the first time?
>>1318315
This, basically. Core want highest possible fees because muh decentralisation
>>1318344
but you can still turn the fees off or pay a really low minimum. it's just the fact that they set the default to a super high price is what pisses me off. new people don't know to change it until they already get screwed

i don't believe you, post your address

They are bitcoin core FUDsters, just sage.
