Bitcoin fees are higher than any other coin. This is due to a lack of scalability and thus high mining fees, which also effects transaction speeds. Ethereum and LiteCoin have much lower fees and send much faster. XRP is cheaper and faster than that. IOTA is free but their wallet is not quite up to par yet. This market is still very young and growing. Eventually these issues will be worked out. But the great thing about competition is that you can choose which method you want to use. And if you’d rather stay in the fiat world you’re free to do that as well.
I used the neo wallet recently and was surprised that it was absolutely free transaction process compared to bitcoin and ethereum. Though I do more of the ethereum transactions and have seen it is much better because I have my altcoins there. I seldom make use of the Bitcoin mainly because of its high transaction fees. So, I will recommend the ethereum mostly for now.
