Re: Are Bitcoin’s Layer 2 Solutions Finally Enabling Everyday Microtransactions?
There was a guy who bought beer using Bitcoin recently in a small local bar in Boracay, Philippines. He paid 1,600 sats for one bottle using Strike App which supports Lightning. It's definitely possible to use Bitcoin for microtransactions, but it depends on the adoption of such merchants if they are willing to accept bitcoin as a primary source of payment.

We just didn't reach such a level of adoption yet, the broadest one, so to speak.
Everybody would still use fiat as the traditional way of things, but BTC will become (probably already is) the best alternative to use besides that, people just need to know more about it and why it can be better for them in the long run.
