Honestly. It’s a fucker. But if it saves me having to brave the streets of my town to avoid all of that bullshit. If I’m honest. Brutally honest. £20 - if you weigh it up. Not having to leave your house. Phone some flaky twit. “Hey man” “Hey man. What you got? Anything exciting or interesting?” “I got some Skittles, and some Guava Dawg”. “Ah cool man. But you know I mentioned about that Mendo Breath you said you could get?” “6 Months. The bloke said”

So fuck that. Goes up. Comes down. I’m still getting high. 🤷‍♂️

Just use Kraken when fees are high for a flat £8ish fee, then use your other exchange when fees are lower than that.

TBH. It was £17. Meh. I didn’t need to leave my house.

It goes up. It comes down. 🤷‍♂️

Hoarding weed. I find that helps.

If you are okay with spending £17 on fees you should donate £10 every-time you buy when fees are back down ;)

It’s the price of doing business in an illegal market.

It’s the tax applied for me to not have to go to Amsterdam. Spend £350.

It’s a bizarre stoner reality. I’m fully aware of that.

But just today. I had some lovely Diesel. Not had Diesel like that in a good 10 years. Then. Some very nice Cookies. 🤷‍♂️

Did I pay over the odds for it? Yep. Probably. Did I get value for money?

100% yes I did.

I don’t get this value / quality thing. There is shit weed. OK weed. Nice weed. Very nice weed.

There is no Supreme, manufactured scarcity, even better weed than the very nice weed. So what happens. Is that now general commercial genetics are by default. OK, or nice weed. Then now. The 10-20 years ago very nice weed is now, for some reason shit to OK weed.

It makes no sense. It’s all the same shit. That extra 5% THC means nothing if it’s been badly grown.

All the best weed I’ve ever had looked terrible, and was 16-20%THC max.

You could smell it in the next town over. Ridiculous.

It’s lovely to look to California/Barcelona/
Amsterdam/Thailand etc.

If only. If fucking only. But no. Nope. As long as the War on Drugs generation exist in this country.

Nope. Not gonna change. Normalizing it is valid. And noble.

The British. Will deny small, epileptic children, who are suffering. Simple. Proven medicine.

We. The British. Would criminalise a mother. For trying to help her son.

But that ain’t us, here. Even using this site. The Royal Mail. Manipulating the system, is a beautiful act of defiance.

It’s lovely to think that the royal family, by association, are facilitating filthy stoners throughout our land. People will look back on this time. This place.

I’d say anyone who uses this place, works out how to use it, how to negotiate Bitcoin. Do the right kind of research, is a bit of revolutionary.

Will they talk about the days of LittleBiggy in the same kind of dewey-eyed way they talk about things like In-Ter-Dance at Sterns, or Spike Island?

I’d like to hope so.

So yeah. Sometimes you pay a bit more than other times. There is so much available here. That it’s not too hard to make it work.

You can get it elsewhere. A lot fuckin’ cheaper. If you can work out how this site works. Then you will have the skills for the darkweb.

Meh fuck that. I just want something a lot simpler

I think having this website available to us in the UK. Is not something to take for granted or become entitled about.

Sometimes. In our completely illegal environment. Shit costs more. Than at other times. In our completely illegal environment. 😂

Suck it up. Or don’t. And find somewhere else. Or just fuckin’ hoarde weed. Always have an ounce of RealD’s Skittlez shake dotted around the place.

“Accidentally” plant any seeds you come across. About now.

When the mrs notices….

“Aaah that would have been my mate John. He was smoking some weed, must have dropped the seeds”

Nope. Totally me. I planted them. Badly.

In 2 months I’m fucked. They’ll be 6 foot. I’ll have accidentally hit on the fucking uber-pheno. Spray the fucker with weedkiller. Nope. Some bloke in Humboldt, 20 years ago made it immune to all Federal weedkillers.

Questions will get asked. Hopefully.

I don’t know. I’m high as fuck on GreenTeam’s Diesel.

So good. That stuff.

I’m like the slightly less demented Dopey aren’t I?

I’ll get me coat

this entire ramble can be deleted when we get other currencies on here which literally all other markets offer

sorry but it's really not the price of doing business in an illegal market at all and it will / has been the end of a lot of buyers and sellers

"suck it up" is a crazy attitude that leads to nowhere, especially for people on extremely tight budgets during this insane cost of living crisis, a lot of us cannot afford to hoard weed, i know some of us are MUCH better of financially than others so these fees are a mere inconvenience to those people

Vouch for what hesh is saying.

The absolute maximum you should be paying for network fees is the £8 Kraken fee. (which is still stupidly high)

Anything more than that and you are literally just burning money for no good reason.

Today is the day i finally sign up for a different exchange other than coinbase, this company is making an extortionate amount of money on fees just from me alone, and this is during a time when these large corporations are consistently raking in record profits, whilst the regular person like me continues to have to make cutbacks at the same time as paying higher prices + fees on everything, beyond outrageous

as you said, literally burning money for no good reason, in an economy where money has never been tighter, it is total madness

it's so easy to tell when reading some posts on here that some people haven't got a concept of what it's like to live on the breadline, a bit like when politicians address the general public

I was on the dole - income support for 10 odd years.

So before you make judgements on people don’t underestimate what they may have been through in the past.

So honestly. Unless you know someone. Judging them on the posts they make. Probably won’t give you the full picture.

That’s as may be. But you can choose not to spend the money here. If you so choose. Other platforms are available.

So just use your local plug then 🤷‍♂️

I’m not going to get into a debate about individuals means. What they can and can’t afford.

It is what it is here. This place. And how this place currently works.

This place clearly doesn’t care about cost of living or anything else. It is what it is.

You either suck it up or find somewhere else.

Biggy owes nobody a living, or any favours. It’s just a platform where people can trade weed if they choose to.

Refer back to my “rambling” point about entitlement.

You haven't even made your own mind up tbh, first post was "it's out of control" next post is "suck it up" and now you're saying biggy doesn't owe me anything you've gone way off mate, absolutely nothing to do with entitlement!
you're absolutely spot on about the demented dopey part though lol

Haha mad one

Well said bro.

Enormous drop in gas fees since yesterday, and the value has dropped too. Always happens when it's in my wallet.

I had to top up an order for the first time ever.

Jesus. It’s gone out of control.

In the olden days. When Bitcoin was like a quid for one. All of this seemed so much simpler.

Typically. They built them a goldmine. Worked for a bit. This. Until they clogged it up with sick.

They have came back down a lot since yesterday, still not ideal but should be around $5.

still £40 on coinbase @ 17.25 08/06

Coinbase are horrid when it comes to network fees.

Even days after the previous fee crisis, they would still quote ridiculous fees.

I think it has something to do with how they bunch transactions together.

Still crazy £40 on a £100 order
17:28-8th

That's crazy. I spent about £40 on a £920 order the other day in fees to buy and have it sent to my wallet (as in it appeared in my wallet at £880ish). I genuinely don't understand these absurdly enormous fees people are paying and/or being quoted for sending low amount when it should be mainly percentage based? Shouldn't it?

Depends on the size of your transaction (influenced by how many inputs and outputs involved), how many other people are transacting and what they are willing to pay to prioritize their transactions.

You got to send with cheaper fees the other day because that was before OKX cucked the network.

I got in a day before that for a large order. One of the few times I haven't been screwed over by nonsense like this! Would have known nothing about that without your post yesterday.

I need to learn advanced but it’s wayyyy above me

How does this work? Can you see the fees in sat/vB that they're sending at? If so, you definitely want to do this. The other night when I last sent my wallet wanted 97sat/vB for Standard and 120+sat/vB for Priority...I set it to 37sat/vB and it cleared in 30 minutes, as it's amazing how often these things don't match reality when you check Mempool (which I had).

Nah, not even close. £30 fee for £42.

It's your exchange that's the problem, they probably bunch transactions together making it cost more.

If you were to send from a self-custodial wallet right now you'd be paying a couple dollars.

It's wise to have accounts on more than one exchange for times like this.

Kraken for example have set fees of around £8 which is bad when fees elsewhere are lower but vice versa.

Aye, this might be the last time I use Coinbase, it's an absolute joke atm. Problem is, you don't know what the fees are until you've already bought the BTC.

This is the problem i encounter on weekly basis with every single order

if you have a low budget and have to order regularly like me then you are so fucked by fee hikes, and like most things in life it doesn't really affect the wealthy people, hits the poor the most!

someone like me who has to order weekly / every other week, i'm hit by fees so much more frequently than someone with wealth who can just either make larger purchases / and or afford to hold on to crypto instead of having to buy crpyto for each order and encounter yet more fees, it's a perpetual nightmare for skint people that leaves you in an endless cycle, again, like most things in life.

Yes, convert it to Litecoin on Coinbase > find your Kraken Litecoin receive address > send your Litecoin to Kraken > convert back to Bitcoin on Kraken

You will lose money on conversion fees but will still be less than £35 for sure.

Now £2 @ 07:20 10/06

Better not be lying to me been waiting 3 days bro 🙏

Wtf I don’t get this shit it’s dropped from 35£ to move it to £2 makes no sence swear

I use crypto com and that fee is £25 regardless of order size. I do fairly decent orders so it’s always worthwhile for me but wouldn’t use it if I was just getting an 8th!

£35-100£order
07:42/9

Barely any different 😕
