The chief executive of Exmo, a bitcoin exchange has been kidnapped in Ukraine.
I suppose that's the problem with untraceable anonymous currency - it makes bank robberies much easier than dealing with dye packs and all those traceable notes that need to be laundered.

Why there is any transaction fee going from cash to cypto whatsoever is what confuses me, or at least an amazingly minimal one like 0.1% or something.
Because miners have to confirm your transaction request and move the coins from the exchange wallet to your own wallet.What would happen if they didn’t?

How does the mechanism for what transactions go in a block work??
It must be selective because transactions where the sender paid a bigger fee get selected first
Yep. The mempool is the store of all transactions waiting to be processed.It must be selective because transactions where the sender paid a bigger fee get selected first
https://blockchain.info/charts/mempool-size?timesp...
Miners pick off roughly 400 transactions from the mempool which are offering to pay the highest fee and put them into the following block. If you want drastically lower fees, make sure you own a "segwit" address. The miners give a substantial discount to segwit transactions and using it helps Bitcoin scale to handle more transactions. If everyone used segwit addresses, the mempool would currently be empty, transaction fees almost zero and no backlog of transactions waiting to be processed.

Of course it will. Already banned in China, now Israel, more to follow.
It's a pipedream to think it will last.
Israel's reasoning..., 'government concerns over national security and terror funding'.
Jews have great control on the banking market in the US/world. The last thing they want it for any tremors in the works financial system, regardless if it affects them or not.
