Transfer fees on Ethereum are currently $2.75, so either the movers got $2.25 or the dude paid an extra 55% just to pay them in something that's less useful for them.

Given the 'about' section of their user says "you're all idiots" it seems reasonable to assume everything they say is either satire or an attempt at it.

I was sure it was satire until I started reading GP's past comments. Definitely a very post-ironic moment.

I thought it clearly was sarcasm/satire, but now you've made me doubt.

Print and frame this content chain as a fine example of Poe's law.

Feels like Tom O'Donnell, who has written satire like that a long time ago

Looking at their comment history, I think they're actually serious.
