The transfer fee on the Ethereum platform for ERC20 is very high, although we only transfer small token values. the fee is so high.
Transaction fee on ERC-20 chain depends on Gas price you use and the smart contracts. Swap on decentralized finance (DeFi) often has very high fees cause by smart contract. With same Gas price, you will get cheaper transaction fee if you move your ETH, not ERC-20 tokens. If it is swap, fees will be higher.
Huge fees are really disappointing but not I think this will be the reason why we have to leave and forget ETH. This will be resolve soon, the team is working on it patiently and we have to give them the support they need. Because the success of their plans is the success of everyone. If we have bothered too much with the fees, it might be good not to withdraw it this time.
No one abandon bitcoin blockchain forever only because of temporary high transaction fees. Bitcoin and Ethereum are two biggest blockchains and the movement out of ERC-20 chains won't last long. They will come back to ETH blockchain soon. The higher the total hashrate on the network, the more safety from that blockchain for transactions.
Bitcoin and Ethereum have biggest total hashrates in crypto.
