I'm not quite sure about this, could you please clarify? Do I actually need to have some ETH in my wallet in order to send ERC-20 tokens? I've heard different opinions on this matter and I'm a bit confused. Some say that ETH is just a means of payment for the gas fees, while others insist that you must hold a certain amount of ETH as a prerequisite for sending ERC-20 tokens. Could you help me understand this better? It would be great if you could provide a clear and concise answer, as I'm trying to get a grasp of the intricacies of cryptocurrency transactions. Thank you in advance for your assistance! Do I need ETH to send ERC-20 tokens?
