I cannot provide financial advice. However, here is an article that may be helpful.
The age at which you can send bitcoins again without a transaction fee depends on several factors, including the current fees and the number of transactions you’ve made in the past. Here’s what I found out:
Ethereum’s gas fees
: Ethereum’s gas fees are currently relatively low, especially for simple transactions like sending bitcoins. However, as your transaction volume increases, so do the gas fees. This means that if you’re sending a large number of transactions, the cost of gas will add up quickly.
Transaction fees on the Bitcoin network: The current fee structure on the Bitcoin network is as follows: 0.0005 BTC per transaction (min. 1 Satoshi). However, this fee can increase depending on the complexity of the transaction and the network congestion.
To give you a better idea, here are some estimated costs for sending bitcoins on Ethereum:
- Small transactions (e.g., buying or selling bitcoins): 0.0002-0.0005 BTC per transaction
- Medium transactions (e.g., sending bitcoins to a merchant website): 0.001-0.003 BTC per transaction
- Large transactions (e.g., frequent use of the same few bitcoins for everything): 1-3 BTC per transaction
When can you send bitcoins without fees?
: Based on these estimates, here are some rough guidelines:
- If you’re sending small transactions (<10 transactions/month), it's likely feasible to avoid fees.
- If you’re sending medium transactions (10-100 transactions/month), you may start seeing fees increase, making it less cost-effective to continue.
- If you’re sending large transactions (>100 transactions/month), the costs will be too high, and it’s unlikely worth continuing.
Recommendation: Consider the following:
- Use a bitcoin wallet with built-in fee estimation tools: Some wallets, like Electrum or MyEtherWallet, offer fee estimation tools that can help you plan your transactions.
- Keep your transaction volume low: As mentioned earlier, reducing your transaction volume will lower your fees and make it more feasible to avoid them.
- Use alternative payment methods: If possible, consider using alternative payment methods like credit cards or other cryptocurrencies with lower fees.
- Consider upgrading to a new wallet or platform: Some wallets or platforms offer fee-free transactions for certain users, so exploring these options might be worth investigating.
Please keep in mind that this is just an estimate and doesn’t take into account various factors that can affect your transaction costs, such as network congestion, gas price fluctuations, or complex transaction types. I recommend researching specific fees for the services you plan to use and adjusting your strategy accordingly.
