What are you talking about - the bitcoin and ethereum network "service costs" are through the roof and are one of the biggest failures of the network as it was designed.

The service costs are so extremely high for each transaction, and if you don't pay the gas/service fees there's a very high potential that no one will process your transaction.

It's basically highway robbery.

I'm thinking you've never really transacted anything on the bitcoin blockchain?

Your reply is missing the point so may want to reread what I actually said. I’ve run Ethereum miners and have a Bitcoin paper wallet.
