This probably eliminates this whole "bitcoin is privacy and independence from government" thing but I think for majority of bitcoin buyers it was not more than just a nice talking point anyway.
From the original bitcoin white paper:
> The traditional banking model achieves a level of privacy by limiting access to information to the parties involved and the trusted third party. The necessity to announce all transactions publicly precludes this method, but privacy can still be maintained by breaking the flow of information in another place: by keeping public keys anonymous.
Salvadorians can transfer their BTC to a tumbling service then to a an anonymous public key.
> independence from government
As soon as you transfer the BTC out of the wallet, you'll be independent from the government.
You are not required to use the government provided wallet if you don't need the $30 handout.
And considering I use Bitcoin frequently, and I'm constantly, on a weekly basis sending on chain for 5 cents, 10 cents max. I'm in within a couple blocks, every single time. You are straight up spreading FUD.
By your own sources your original claims don't hold up. So much for "100% BULLSHIT". Please stop with the zealotry, it makes the entire space look foolish.
> The fees on Bitcoin, on chain, have been less than 75 cents the entire year of 2021.
The average transaction fee on April 21st was $62.779. You are wrong.
> The average tx on chain the past 9 months has been about 10-15 cents.
Clearly wrong. The data you cite is the median transaction fee, not the average transaction fee. For the lowest median transaction fee the chart shows 22.9 cents. Even that is above your claimed 10-15 cents.
Good for you that you spent less on your transaction, doesn't change the data though.
The fee was NEVER once $62 per tx in ALL of April, I sent numerous transactions all that month long for mere cents.
