If I buy something from you for cash money, then I get what you are selling and you get cash. You don't pay a transaction fee or anything of that sort. We are two people who did business with each other. No one else makes coin on our deal.
Often handing over cash money is not feasible. So I could write a check but I'l probably incur a bank service charge to have a checking account. I could wire you cash via Western Union. But that will cost money too. I could use a credit or debit card. But you'll pay a fee and commission assuming you accept debit or credit cards. That fee or commission will be built in to the price of what you sell.
So isn't the real reason for Bitcoin is people want to exchange goods or services and not pay any fees to 3rd parties who transfer payments? In effect Bitcoin functions exactly like paying cash money.
