This may be a bit off-topic and I don't know much about crypto currencies, but I do know that one of the reasons Stellar was set up the way it is, is to enable tiny transaction fees so that anyone could participate, including the poor or those without the kind of access to a stable currency or financial services that most of us on this forum would normally expect. Thus, the transaction fees are minimal. I guess it should be possible to trade bitcoin via the stellar network (according to their intro page[1], any currency can be), but I could well be wrong. I got some given to me in the Keybase drop so I read up on them, but that's the limit of my knowledge in this area. I'd love to find a way to use them but articles like this talking about ponzi schemes etc tend to put me off bothering.
