This is one reason why I think Steemit can be so valuable because of no fees.

I was upset with myself when I sent LTC from coinbase to bittrex for trading because I realized I then had to exchange the LTC into BTC.

After calculating the transaction fee I would have paid had I sent my BTC from coinbase to bittrex, I realize that I saved quite a bit of money by sending LTC to bittrex and trading it for BTC so I can then start the trading game.
