What is the transaction fee if I buy a pizza with Visa vs with Bitcoin? Or a round of drinks or a tank of fuel?

There are 0 fee cryptocurrencies.

How will you pay me $0.001? Or $1 million in a few seconds? With the next gen of cryptocurrencies, available today. Zero fees, instant, worldwide.

But you would first need to develop a system where it would be common to send millions of dollars to untrusted parties at high frequency before you would ever use these zero-fee cryptos.
