Making various transactions, either for goods or services is part of the activities of individuals and households. Obviously the utilization of the flexibility of Bitcoin for these transactions is on the rise, but something we're yet to experience, is using Bitcoin for micro transactions; gaming, online tipping, unlock assets of content creation, just to mention a few. For flat currencies, smaller units of the currencies may be in short supply to make such transactions. Households and individuals will surely be jumping at the prospect of the option of Bitcoin for these nature of transactions.
Mind you, every Bitcoin transactions be it micro or macro needs transaction charge to execute, and when you are talking about micro transactions, it could be higher or lower than Bitcoin transaction fee which can cause utxo problems in most cases.

Lightning Network (LN) would work more better in using Bitcoin for micro transactions, for speed of confirmation and lower amount.
