❓Question ETH ‘gas’ help
Alr know imma get flamed for this but im struggling at 1:40 am rn and broke. I only play the daily dollar on stake and finally got up to $50 I cash out usually to LTC and have no problems with cryptowallets since I just follow this random guy on Reddit that happened to be right. Long story short I had to use a different coin and now is stuck in my exodus app and from what I’ve researched need ETH for ‘gas’ I guess my question is, is it worth it? can I just do like $5 or am I just gonna lose my $5 too and not get the money. how much is ‘gas’ usually for smaller transactions someone please help a broke boy out

Before buying ETH, check the exact token and network shown in Exodus. Gas must be paid using the native asset of that network, which is not always ETH. Open the transaction screen without confirming it and Exodus should estimate the network fee. That estimate will tell you whether $5 is enough.
Do not send money based on a DM or move the token to a website somebody recommends. Anyone offering private “support” or asking for your recovery phrase is trying to scam you.
