No one is using bitcoin for transactions since the average transaction fee is $28.
are you sure? the first link when i googled this: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/333388187_Sex_Drugs....

"We estimate that around $76 billion of illegal activity per year involve bitcoin (46% of bitcoin transactions), which is close to the scale of the U.S. and European markets for illegal drugs"

What you linked is dated June 2017
