The fees are currently not that high: https://mempool.space/

You didn't mention which wallet you're using but assuming it's a non-custodial one and not an exchange, then its likely one of the two:

- Since the fees are based on the transaction size, you probably received too many small payments.
- The wallet you're using is overestimating the fees.

Every time you make a transaction, you have to pay the network fee.
The network fee is the money you pay to miners (when dealing with a POW coin like BTC or ETH) or validators  (when dealing with a POS coin like TRON)

The fee depends on many factors.
In bitcoin, the transaction fee depends on transaction size (which is a function of number of inputs and outputs) and how fast you want your transaction to be confirmed.
In ethereum, the transaction fee depends on required gas and how fast you want your transaction be confirmed.

Note that the more congested the network is, the more fee you have to pay.


No.
You have to pay fee for any on-chain transaction.


There may be some custodial wallets (or exchanges) that don't charge you any fee when making a transaction from one account to another account.
but since you don't have full control over your fund in such wallets (or exchanges), I recommend you to not use them for holding your cryptocurrencies.  



You can pay lower fee if you use segwit addresses.

There are two kinds of segwit addresses.

1. Native segwit: addresses that start with bc1q
2. Nested segwit: addresses that start with 3*

Using native segwit addresses, the transaction fee can decrease up to 53%
Using nested segwit addresses, the transaction fee can decrease up to 38%

*Not all addresses that start with 3 are segwit. They may be multi-signature.

I think my topic on consolidating small inputs will help you.

Short version: as long as 1 sat/vbyte is enough, I wouldn't mind withdrawing 0.001BTC to my wallet. If you use an address starting with bc1q, you can consolidate a few inputs at a time for less than 100 sat (0.000001BTC) fee per input. That's only about 0.1% of the total amount, which I consider acceptable. If you use an address starting with 1, fees almost double.
If transaction fees get really high again (say 100 sat/vbyte), I'd wait and withdraw larger amounts at a time.

It's better to be a full trader because you need to monitor things that's why pro traders use big curve monitors and sit watching charts every minutes, I'm not a full time trader but I do trade in my own way just by buying low and selling high, always buy when the coin drops lot of value and place a sell trade sooner or later it will be successful, you need patience that's all

These are usually traders that were looking to take advantage of the volatility of the market in the short term to profit but begin to panic when the market is not going as they speculated. Holders do not panic in this situation instead they buy more Bitcoin knowing what is happening is just some corrections that will be over soon.

With Bitcoin you only lose when you sell but if you hold, it is just a matter of time before the market recovers and gives you profits. The cycle are usually every four to five years based on the halving of block reward and when the market starts to check the fomo.

You cannot blame some investors they are not comfortable seeing their investments going down and losing their value, many of them invested with their savings and some even take a loan to invest and they do not want a long wait, they are not patient in waiting for the market to get better, there are investors who cut their losses even if the coin they invested have potential in the market.

Usually when bitcoin goes down, it is controlled by the media that carries bad news about it. So we will be upset after seeing bitcoin only go up for a while and then go down again. That's so annoying
