I did lookup the BTC transaction fee, but it looks like 15 USD was completely wrong .. my bad.

Checking now :

This says, afaict, the average BTC transaction cost today is $1:40 USD

The 5yr chart shows it spiking at $128 in April 2024.

If BTC transactions reliably cost 15c per transaction, it might make for a viable electronic money... but that is clearly not the case, so I think my point stands.
