I will say that one of the early benefits to bitcoin, low/nonexistent middlemen fees, is not really a thing anymore. Every single time you move across wallets, at current prices no matter how much coin you're moving, you're out the equivalent of $20USD.

Considering that basic BTC opsec is to move your coins around regularly, this is painful unless you have insane amounts of money to throw around.

People dump their BTC into Monero or Zcash and then sell back into BTC these days instead of using coincontrol for select inputs or tumblers anymore.
