 Guys if we want to dump fiat and live with #Bitcoin how do we deal with the high network fees.

Was trying to move my funds from exchange to wallet - but the fees $15~ 
 Do you know about the lightning network? 
 Yes i do sir. We have legacy, segwit & lightning. So it's ok to store all my BTC in lightning? Instead of segwit? 
 Great! You understand more than I thought you might. 

Right now It boils down to budgeting. If you don’t transfer enough to justify the cost then you should just keep stacking and stop spending. 
 Yeah i agree. I just bought my first cold wallet. I would like to store on my own wallet instead of exchange. I just cannot bear with the fee at this moment. 

Maybe i need to stack untill 0.1 btc ish only then it's worth it 
 We'll all get priced out of being able to use it if the wealthy start using it for real

 I would like to understand more, can you please elaborate sir? 
 Which exchange are you using? 
 Binance sir 
 Have you ever wired money? Or used at atm. Stfu. 
 Wdym sir?

I don't understand in what context? 
 The fees. Sending a wire can easily run $30+ and feed to the receiver 
 Ah i never done any of that, i only use Standard settlement instructions. 

Good to know 
 Tips 1, If you learn cold and non-custodial custody, you can send tx's for lower fees that take longer.  Not too low like months or it might never get picked up, but is you set the fee at a few days estimate, it will likely get picked up. So if fees on binance are quoting you15$ for an estimate of a few minutes or hours, say 115 sats pwr vbyte, on your own non-custodial wallet you can set it 80 sats per vbyte and some miner will eventually include itbat that fee rate. Too low, like 40, and it may never get picked up. Google fee estimator and make a judgement.
  
 Ahhh well this is the most helpfull answer 🥂
