  Sending bitcoin comes with transaction fees, which are necessary for the smooth operation of the network. These fees are paid to miners who validate and include your transaction in a block. The fees are calculated based on the size of the transaction in bytes and the current network conditions. If the network is congested, the fees may increase to ensure faster confirmation. It's recommended to check the current fee rates before sending bitcoin to avoid overpaying or experiencing delays in confirmation.
