Paxful takes 0.0005 BTC (5 bucks) to send outgoing transactions, yet sends them at 12 sats/Byte

Paxful takes 0.0005 BTC (5 bucks) to send outgoing transactions.

They batch 12 transactions together, so 12 * 5 = 60 dollars.

They send the transactions at 12 sats/Bytes, paying 0.0004 btc for the total transaction (4 dollars).

So that's 54 dollars profit on the detriment of regular people who have wait 1-2 hours before their transactions confirm and still pay top dollar for it.

Why is this allowed? Why is nobody talking about it?

I made a post about it on /r/paxful, they deleted it a few hours later.

​

Edit : Actually, it's 37 transactions batched together, which makes their profit 185 dollars instead of 60.

Coinmarketcap are listing BCH sites as BTC

No, Bitcoin is not controlled by a small group of investors and miners (A rebuttal to the TechSpot article)

https://preview.redd.it/vli0ofqwf6w71.jpg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a704c47375637858c27216379ae8313dadf8be8 This could be a long read. Kindly bear with me. I write this primarily in response to the TechSpot article from yesterday ( r/technology mods told me they only allow “ mainstream articles with editorial oversight and fact-checking ” so I'm sharing this here). But I’d also like to take this opportunity to write about Bitcoin more broadly as someone who has been following it for more than a decade and I’ll try to do so without complicating the conversation for anyone unfamiliar with Bitcoin. The TechSpot article cites a non-peer-reviewed National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) working paper from Igor Makarov and Antoinette Schoar. NBER claims to be non-partisan but it is a private NPO funded by the likes of Bill Gates foundation . The chairman of NBER, Karen Horn, is a former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and Head of Int...
