The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

Can you post your BTCitcoin address so we could give an accurate answer? My guess is, a lot of inputs are used for that transaction and as result you've ended up with large transaction fee (than usual). Size of the transaction matters and most likely that's the case for you (even though the amount isn't that big).

For recommended transaction fees, refer to this website: http://bitcoinfees.21.co/#fees
On a side note: The fee isn't 0.015 but rather 0.006BTC since you own 0.021BTC.

This is usually as a result of having many transaction into your wallet (many inputs that are required).

If possible, you could copy the private key - download something like electrum and use thedynamic fee slider to try to reduce the transaction fee.
The 0.015BTC will be for if you want it included in the next block, if you want it included a few blocks late, you normally probably could get away with something like 0.005BTC or lower (for the transactionto take about 6 hours maximum to confirm probably).

Also, use the analyser of the blockchain network that SFR uploaded to see the exact fees needed.
