yes. the fee its extreamly annoying . but if you smart trader you can use any tricks to cover it.
1. use altcoin as optional . in this case i prefer use ETH or BCH or LTC . its most Popular and Big Volume trade in market.
2. use Custom FEE . but i will take a long time to get confirmation in tx . i did fee $3 for send $80 . confirmation 1 after 2 week almost 3 weeks .
Recommending ETH right now for low fees is a bad idea, the mempool is filled with pending tx and the gwei price for gas is super high right now
Even ETH these days when you use it is expensive also. It will cost you high gas just to proceed for the transactions. Ive tried to make a transactions in ethereum the fees is really expensive so both eth and btc are high fees.
