From anecdotes I've seen on multiple places on the internet: between 5-10%
So if you’re sending the minimum amount that’s 4%, but that goes down to 1.5% if you send $600.
So it’s not very expensive and in many situations the transaction fee is less than Bitcoin.

We are talking about Bitcoin transaction cost, Lighting network has its own issues and tradeoffs.
Do you see the problem or not?
Also, I'd be curious if you had source about the “every day” part, because I find it pretty unlikely, since it's costly, time consuming (the cheapest way to send money is going in physical stores), and people aren't usually earning money every day …
DING DING DING we got a winner boys!
The problem is that sending in Bitcoin is more expensive than WU.
Ever heard of the LN?
Yes, I’m familiar with LN.
"No one gets paid daily", srsly, you ever been to another country outisde US/Europe?
Bitcoin isn't cheaper than this, because not only there's blockchain fees, but also exchange's, and I'm pretty sure many people use a local broker for managing their bitcoins (at least it's how it works in Lebanon, from what I've read).
