Bitcoin is known these days for the high transaction fees due to the 1MB block size limitations. However recently I discovered that the withdrawal fees that exchanges impose on Monero is a lot higher than Bitcoin. I searched the transaction fees for both coins and same goes there. Does Monero have a lower maximum block size compared to Bitcoin? Any ideas?
