> How many bites of the pie did you lose during those 4 transactions?

Probably between ~1-2%, if that.

That would depend on the transaction size and market, no? As early as yesterday, any single transaction involving ETH would have cost no less than $3 due to gas prices even at the slowest acceptable pace, and that's before the bid/ask spread on the exchanges eat some more

I'm quickly coming to the conclusion that while crypto cuts out a lot of the obvious middlemen, there are a lot more hidden ones. It is currently non-economical to do small transactons.
