The fee is $4.50 to transfer up to $50 and $9.50 to send up to $900.

Western Union, in comparison, charges $5 for a money transfer of up to $50, but a transfer of $900 could cost $76.
By comparison a Bitcoin transfer costs the equivalent of $0.005 for any amount to anywhere in the world anonymously.

I don't have a clue how to accumulate bitcoins. All I've got is the green paper.

That's the cost of ignorance.

It's all but impossible to mine for the normal person now. The energy cost outweigh the benefits of small scale mining. Doge coin is where it's at

Paul Harvey......
And if you've followed the rest of the Bitcoin story you'd find the only ignorant people are the ones whom bot into this house of cards.

Most recent story was they suspended trading of the coins due to bookkeeping issues. Then they miraculously "found" $160 million worth of coins that had apparently been stored on their computer system but they had lost. A digital house of cards. Great idea, but totally lacking in the execution. Someday, someone will come out with a better idea than Bitcoin & execute it better & we will all want to participate.

For now I'm with you Jim....give me the green paper.

Might as well have green paper these days. I've finally made it to a point in my life where I have a little money, and now interest rates are near nothing.

Interest rate has a new meaning. It means that banks, insurance companies and investment houses (all the same) are really interested in stealing any money anyone has left.

Invest in yourself, it's later than you think.

I didn't know people still sent money that way...
Internet banking is pretty easy, as are transfers between banks...

Looks like just another way for WalMart to suck money out of people.
