the bitcoin fee is annoying

sorry for being noob in cryptocurrency thing, but just recently i had to buy some bitcoin to make a small 5 dollar payment, i was like lets buy some bitcoin using cc, that was having huge commission to buy from cc, then when i made the payment i was amazed to see that i transfered 5 dollars and 5 dollars was cut for transaction fee. I was like who in the world uses bitcoin when the fee is so high.
Well mine took 1 day to confirm
