Yes I Finally Withdrew My BCH from the SmartBCH Network... Not!!!
There is a problem with following the trend when you're not one who likes to do so. You're much slower to act so eventually you're left behind. With SmartBCH this means your BCH in MetaMask are just sitting ducks with nowhere to go.
Now of course I am no expert when it comes to these things as I just tried it out when it was still new and trending. My mistake was not taking the BCH out and putting it back to my other crypto wallet as soon as I swapped back all the tokens I "played with". Tsk tsk. Now I cannot take it out. MetaMask tells me I need an ETH wallet address so I can send the SmartBCH BCH out of MetaMask. (Are you still following me? 😂 Yeah blockchains are complicated.)
I did a bit of online search and found out the previous bridges that were working (putting BCH in the SmartBCH network) are mostly on maintenance now. Others, like CoinFlex will lock the SmartBCH up if you transfer to the Sep20 deposit address. Ugh. What else should people like me do? I got a figurative headache just thinking about it.
Eventually I found out the blockng(dot)money bridge. It is still working to bridge SmartBCH to other networks. Thanks a lot! 😆 The problem is I still can't transfer BCH to the BSC network without swapping it! This is really not what I want to waste my time on but I was still stubbornly trying.
Next I checked more info on the blockng site and found out I can also use Mistswap. Oh good it's still working! But again I ran into a problem...
This is just getting out of hand you know. Does this mean my BCH in MetaMask is also useless forever? I guess it is, same as my ETH in its network. Can't take it out because the fees are bigger than the altcoins to be transferred. 😆
Penny trading cryptos and tokens should be banned. Lol otherwise it's just a waste of money. Oh well. THIS IS ME SAYING DON'T EVER DO IT EVEN IF IT'S THE LATEST TREND! 🤣 (But hey if you wanna experiment with your money/cryptos who am I to say this, right? Up to you what you wanna do with your money.)
At this point it's just like I'm effing playing with money, sadly. It's been stuck in MetaMask for months so what else am I to do with the BCH? 🤣
You know, trading and such is just like gambling but it's kinda different. With crypto it becomes much easier to waste money. So anyway let me keep on "playing" with my altcoins since I can't really earn from it anymore right?
I tried the other tokens on Mistswap if it will let me swap my BCH but nooo. Everything was not going thru. I then realized the site isn't working anymore. 🙅♀ Sad.
Back to blockng site... I'll just swap it to LAW token then go to ETH network. Let's see if I can swap it to ETH. As if I can take it out of MetaMask. 😂
Step 1: I swap my BCH to LAW tokens.
Step 2: I use the bridge feature to move the LAW token in SmartBCH network to ETH Network.
Step 3: It got transferred to the ETH Network alright but I didn't know there's another step needed. There's a CLAIM button!!! And guess what, I FAILED to CLAIM the tokens because of this! 🙃
Now what else do I do but reject the transaction! 😅 So I guess it's floating in oblivion now because I can't claim the tokens... $1 down the drain.
I tried to convert all of the BCH to LAW but it didn't let me. So now there's still half BCH left in my MetaMask wallet. The other half will be unclaimed forever maybe. 😜
There are no other tokens to convert it to in BSC that are also in SmartBCH so the only choice I selected was LAW token. Yeah it's also on ETH network but again the fees are ridiculous. To claim the $1 value LAW tokens I have to spend $6+ worth of ETH. No way! 😝
Still a dead end eh? Haha. Nevermind then... at least I tried. One last attempt before I give up on it. Might as well end it here now unless someone can give me some tips on what to do next without adding more cryptos in my MetaMask wallet just to get them all out.
This is why people always say to do your research before delving into anything. Crypto trading will make you lose money just like anything else. Experience is the best teacher, and the most costly of all too, right? 🙂
