Isn't the whole point of crypto is to reduce this middleman huge fees like banks?

No really, cryptocurrencies just remove the role of intermediaries. The tx fees will still be there.

For some reason, the dependence of crypto users on third parties cannot still be eliminated. Since network transaction fees are irregular and uncontrollable even by their creators, thus third parties freely charge higher than normal fees (even many times), in which case they act like blackmailers.

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.

By the way, I can't see who mined the block. Can anyone please? In etherscan, I only saw an address; isn't it a pool? The guy must be a lucky one.

It was mined by anonymous miner https://etherscan.io/block/13307440

You can check the "mined by" with no name of the pool which it should have if a particular pool mined the block. Its a hell of a luck. If it was mined by pool or known company then they can reach to them for a refund like other incidents like this (spark pool mined the block on previous incident and refunded 50% only). But that's not the case here.

Was it a mistake only? I don’t know how come anyone would do such mistake though as fee estimation or fee for the tx is visible in the sending tab when someone tries to send a tx.

What a waste. Speaking of bitfinex and USDT, they can just print another millions of USDT on their treasury Roll Eyes

Now it will be a headline in any media contradicting of using crypto for lower transaction fee but instead paying millions for a fee.
