I'm trying to understand why the transfer fee for Bitcoin is so exorbitant. It seems to be much higher compared to other digital transaction fees. Could someone explain the reasons behind this?

This mechanism is inherently designed into Bitcoin's protocol to incentivize miners and maintain the security and decentralization of the network.

Bitcoin's blockchain operates with a finite amount of data space available in each newly created block. This limitation has a direct impact on the transaction fees miners charge.

As the demand for Bitcoin transactions increases, so does the number of transactions miners need to process. Consequently, the competition among miners to include transactions in the next block intensifies.
