Hello guys,I tried to withdraw ethereum from poloniex and BTC alpha..soo high fee's I withdraw 0.02 ethereum and fee's is min.0.01 ethereum? So no choice I withdraw even the high fee almost 50% from may balance. I need gas to send more tokens ..but still confused why so high it is normal or due to blockchain congested that's why?
I think not all transactions are based on blockchain, especially if you are using wallet from exchange where transactions can be based on internal DB.
If you had to send transaction to external address, like your own wallet on phone or to hardware wallet, then that would be based on blockchain.
For exchanges, they raise the fee for transaction or withdrawal to cover their operation and maintenance cost. Simply put, they are greedy.
