Could you explain to me why Coinbase imposes a network fee on transactions? Is it an inherent cost associated with the blockchain technology or is it a fee imposed by Coinbase itself? Additionally, how does this fee affect the user's overall transaction costs and is there any way to minimize or avoid it? Understanding the rationale behind this fee would greatly help in making informed decisions when using Coinbase for cryptocurrency transactions.
