  One way to reduce transaction fees when sending bitcoin is to use a SegWit-enabled wallet. SegWit (Segregated Witness) is a protocol upgrade that increases the block size limit, allowing more transactions to be included in each block. By using a SegWit wallet, you can take advantage of the lower fees associated with SegWit transactions. Additionally, you can try to send your transactions during off-peak hours when the network is less congested, as this can also help reduce fees.

  Another strategy to reduce transaction fees is to set a lower fee rate when creating your transaction. Most wallets allow you to manually adjust the fee rate, so you can choose a lower rate to save on fees. However, keep in mind that setting a very low fee rate may result in slower confirmation times or even stuck transactions if the network is congested. It's important to find the right balance between low fees and timely confirmation.

  If you're looking to reduce transaction fees, you might also consider using a layer 2 solution like the Lightning Network. The Lightning Network is a second-layer protocol that operates on top of the Bitcoin blockchain and allows for faster and cheaper transactions. By opening a payment channel on the Lightning Network, you can send and receive bitcoin with minimal fees and near-instant confirmation times. However, it's worth noting that not all wallets and exchanges support the Lightning Network yet, so you'll need to ensure compatibility before using this solution.
