paid nearly 15 USD in fees to move BTC worth 100USD

long story short, i had to make payments via zelle to a person in USA, and the intermediary was only accepting BTC .

​

to move a 100USD transaction, i had to first pay 9USD fees for binance withdrawl and then another 6 USD for escrow funding in localcrypto.com

​

i have no idea how ppl do business on BTC .
