There’s one a minor but yet annoying problem that all crypto people have in common.
It gets bigger if you’ve been in crypto for a long time, and it is less prominent if you’re a hardcore Bitcoin maximalist and literally never touch anything else other than BTC.
Over the years, I’ve used hundreds of platforms. Centralised and decentralised exchanges, faucets, wallets, you name it.
I’ve traded crypto, sent crypto, received crypto, spent crypto, staked crypto, tipped crypto.
And along the way, I left a trail of crumbs, literally, because one of the most annoying things about crypto transactions is there’s always a few cents that remain behind. For one reason or another.
It’s not a life-changing amount but if I break it all down, I’ve got beer money, and I live in a country where beer is quite cheap so I’m talking about numerous beers, scattered across and don’t know how to retrieve it.
On Metamask, for example, I’ve got a few dollars worth of Jumptask that I don’t know how to withdraw because it’d probably cost more to retrieve them than to leave them there. I need BNB to pay for the fees.
So that means I’d have to buy or exchange something else into BNB, send BNB to Metamask, exchange Jumptask to BNB, send it back to Binance, and exchange it again.
Along the way, I’d lose a good chunk of my Jumptask in fees.
I’ve got SPOT on Metamask that I can’t spend, I can’t send it anywhere because no one supports it, and I can’t exchange it because the fees are astronomical.
It goes on but I’ll stop it here for the sake of time.
But see where I’m going with this?
And I bet you’re on the same boat.
