[Fees] paying $14 of gas to save 10% on a $90 order is not saving

Fees Long Haul ×1

Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud.

The advice on USDC in this community changed substantially around the start of last year, and nobody went back and updated the older posts. So depending on which thread the search engine hands you, you get two contradictory answers with the same confidence.

I have listed what I think the current consensus is below. Correct me — that is the point of posting it.

Mechanistically the bit that matters is gas fees. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.

Disagree on that part. 97.9% and 97.6% on the same vial is normal.

Stablecoin or other?

confirmations are crypto, the exchange rate at 17 blocks is the deal

chargeback rights are gas fees: zero
