ποΈ Published: 2025-06-01T00:00:00-04:00
π Summary: A Bitcoin user recently made headlines after accidentally paying an exorbitant $60,000 in transaction fees due to misunderstood use of the Replace-By-Fee (RBF) feature. RBF allows users to resend unconfirmed transactions with higher fees to speed up confirmation but requires detailed knowledge of fee units, wallet behaviors, and how transactions are structured.
