It's not necessarily the cost for me ( I already invested most of my money in cryptocurrency and this isn't a lot for me ), it's more about the hassle and number of steps I need to take without knowing what it will actually lead to / bring me.
That, plus having less BTS available and not being a fan of exchanges. I will get there, eventually.
