If we both join the bitcoin network, we can exchange $1B for $0.48.

If we both join set up accounts at a regular bank like RBC, we can exchange $1B for free.

The point I'm making is that fees are not bitcoin's strong point. Any financial network can undercut it. What is unique about bitcoin is that not everyone can get an account at RBC, but anyone can join the more expensive bitcoin network.
