Episode Synopsis

A Bitcoin user just accidentally paid a $105,000 fee trying to send a $10 transfer to Kraken because they set the fee at 0.99 BTC instead of using the calculator. No refunds, no customer service — just a brutal lesson in how crypto’s “freedom” can wipe out your Tesla down payment in seconds. Pro tip: always double-check those fees or you'll be tipping miners more than a Lamborghini costs.
