When moving assets between wallets, it's important to think about transaction fees and timing. The typical workflow involves settling any pending fees on your current platform, then transferring your holdings to your destination account. This is a practical question many traders face when consolidating positions or switching platforms. The key is understanding your fee structure before initiating transfers to optimize costs.

Fees are indeed a trap, especially during a bull market. I usually wait until network congestion eases, sometimes for a few hours before transferring, which saves a lot of gas. But the most important thing is to consider what cryptocurrency you're transferring; Layer 2 solutions are much cheaper than the mainnet. Has anyone fallen into this trap?

Fee structure is really easy to overlook, and many people just transfer funds directly and end up getting scammed.

Gas fees are truly an invisible hand, easily eating away at your profits if you're not careful.

Fees are the real killer; sending money without researching properly before transferring.

Fees can definitely be tricky; I previously made a transfer without calculating the gas fee properly and ended up losing some money. Timing is also very important; sometimes waiting a bit can save a lot of money.

Fees can definitely be a pitfall, but I think there's an even more important point that hasn't been mentioned—chain selection. Sometimes the transfer fees for the same token can vary by several times depending on the chain used, so this also needs to be planned in advance.
