Just stumbled across a small amount of #bitcoin I seem to have left on an exchange. When I was looking to withdraw it, they ask me to pay a whopping 0.0005 btc (currently about €45) withdrawal fee, which is insane IMO.

These exchanges are desperately trying to stop you from self-custody, yet this is so very important. That’s why I started looking for an alternative to these malicious practices about two years ago and found nostr:npub1sqzr42dj8vx32yd5jcvvl3ytux45kl0etgf6y2ymjvmd7lqmuwmqk9vk7v , to this day I’m very happy with their service.

Ps, I know there are other options out there aswell, maybe even better options, IDK. But Relai has been doing a great job AFAIK.

I've been also using relai, they were great, but they stopped doing services for Croatia, so I needed to switch to Pocket. It is easy to stack over lightning. They are also very good.

Yeah! A lot of exchange platforms are scamming users, covering insane withdrawal fees and they make batch on-chain transactions so for them the fees are very low..always check the mempool before making a transaction so you know the real actual value of a transaction at the moment.

Relai was pretty good until they ask for KYC. 😅 super easy to use. The only down side is the delay with sepa transfer, that will be perfect if they accept sepa instant. But i guess that's the compromise for low fees.

very soon 👀
