$10 of Bitcoin (BTC) isn't really useable.

I saw a post on /r/bitcoin where someone bought their first ever chunk of Bitcoin. (About 10USD worth) They were very happy about it.

I don't think they realize they really can't do anything with it except leave it on the exchange they bought it from without losing a significant percentage of value to fees.

With a median transaction fee of $1.50, the $10, would become $8.50 worth once transferred to a wallet of their own and they would have $7 of buying power if they wanted to spend it or load a lightning channel.

I suspect he or she will leave it on the exchange and wait for 'number to go up' and never actually use it, like most people on r/bitcoin.
