So although transaction fees seem to be dropping (see chart) to cost for small transactions is still to high.
To send a dollars worth of bitcoin you will pay essentially the same amount.
I'm looking forward to the day when I can pay for coffee with bitcoin. The danger for bitcoin will lose futher ground to other cryptocurrencies with lower transaction fees for example bitcoin cash, litecoin etc etc. I personally don't mind which cryptocurrency I pay with. I just want to one with the lowest transaction fees.
