This had been the concern of many small-time cryptocurrency enthusiasts.  I know the Bitcoin developer had been looking at this problem so that Bitcoin small-time users will enjoy the benefits that Bitcoin brings.  As a matter of fact, we have seen several developments including the segwit, lightning network, etc.. just to solve the congestion of the network that causes the transaction fee to surge.  And since we don't have any inside information on how this problem is being tackled by the developers, we don't know when this kind of problem will be fixed.
