It naive to think that that digital currencies would somehow be free of fees, hidden or otherwise. Remember when streaming services were great because they offered an ad-free experience. Digital currencies will eventually have fees, and lots of them because they can be built-in and because people won't be given a choice. It will be a worse state than current credit cards.
