Could you please elaborate on who typically pays the transaction fee associated with cryptocurrency transactions? Is it the sender, the receiver, or does it depend on the specific cryptocurrency and the exchange platform being used? Additionally, how does the fee structure vary among different cryptocurrencies and how does it affect the overall cost of transactions?

The amount of the fee is determined by the user and can vary depending on factors such as the size of the transaction, the current demand for mining services, and the desired speed of confirmation.

A higher fee can encourage miners to prioritize a transaction, resulting in faster confirmation times. Conversely, a lower fee may cause a transaction to wait longer for confirmation.
