A lot of people are resistance to change, when there is new things on the block they would not even try to take a glimpse and see if it is worth it. Thank God i am not part of that bandwagon.
I always enjoy taking new challenges and adventuring, but there are times when you will realize that some things are not just for you or maybe it can be bad timing but as we all know, "first impression lasts longer". I have uploaded a picture below of what i came through today when i was trying to do a coin swap on meta-mask wallet, i do not want to lie it was so disappointing and i even lost interest is coin token swapping.
I wanted to swap 0.7 of iFARM so that i can have Change Now Token (NOW) and the wallet took a few seconds finding the best option for me and i was given quotes and the fees were so disgusting.
I was given an estimate gas fee of 0.06326 ETH worthy $228.93 and then then the maximum network fee was $1,172.38 of which my transaction was for $154 only and i was supposed to pay those exorbitant fee. I guess these Ethereum based tokens are lacking competition and they are being reluctant to work on the network fees because its too much to handle.
Imagine being charged a transaction fee far much more than your actual transaction. Crypto currencies are supposed to give freedom to the people and save them from being robbed by the banks in the name of bank charges but well on these token swapping its better to be robbed less by the banks than to be robbed what we cant afford to lose. The experience was disappointing and i ever doubt if i will ever do a coin swap again.
