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.

Well that was the initial design of Satoshi, p2p, used for micro payments. But as time goes by, it became a asset. But to became Bitcoin to be used for micro transactions, they've developed Lightning Network.

But not sure what is the data yet since it's inception, if ever it is being used, although there are some reports in social media that it is has been utilized already by some stores. We have threads about it already.

So yeah, it might be a slow process, but maybe in the next 5-10 years, it will really get the traction that it needed for Bitcoin to be used in this case.
