From what I've read the avg tx fee for BTC is $8+ per transaction (is this correct?) and the avg transaction fee for Bitcoin Cash BCH is 0.3 USD .30 cents (is thao correct?) if so why and how could there be such a difference? I know more miners =lower fees but that much lower? Hopefully someone can shed some light on my confusion. Thanks !
BCH is just an altcoin which was created when trying to make a clone of Bitcoin.Bitcoin has huge user base all over the world.It is highly used for even payments in Japan where it has been legalized and south korea which is much user friendly to bitcoin.Also,more people have started to buy bitcoin as a high return giving asset.So,the transaction volume is very high.More over,some miners deliberately prefer to confirm transactions with high transaction fee and they just try to avoid transactions with low fee.This issue would get solved when once segwit gets completely locked in and after that,fee would get reduced much considerably.BCH does not have high er number of transactions and it is just pumped by some big whales for some quick profits otherwise,it would have lost its value totally by this time.
