Yes, but you don't have to spend a small fraction of Bitcoin during a high transaction fee period, if that is not a must. Have Bitcoin and also have Fiat. Where it is not necessarily important that you pay in Bitcoin, you can use Fiat to perform your transaction. 


Not at all; the high Bitcoin transaction fee usually gets high sometimes and also becomes normal when the mempool is less congested. If the Bitcoin transaction fee is high above my expectations and far beyond what I can afford to pay, I will better look for another alternative to making that payment. Any time the fee reduces, I can still spend small fractions of bitcoin for any payment I want to make.

Someone already recommend you use the LN, which will help reduce the fee. 

I've never used bitcoin for small transactions, but what is small depends on your definition.

The way I see it, small transactions would be buying groceries, drinks, things of that nature and I never did that because when I used bitcoin for the first time it was an investment, so I didn't want to spend it. Now I could buy some stuff but fees are too high to pay for each transaction. Thankfully, you can buy in bulk. For instance, you can get a gift code to a store for $1k or more and use that for all your future purchases.

Fortunately, I have never made a transaction using Bitcoin at a merchant, to be honest, the fee charged for processing a Bitcoin transaction is currently very fluctuating, what if in an urgent situation, I definitely don't want to have to carry out the transaction

but even if I want to make transactions with bitcoin then I will only choose to do it with the lightning network, I am also quite active in using bluewallet, it is definitely safe to transact bitcoin without having to worry about high fees

To be honest, yes. I have stopped making small Bitcoin transactions. A few months ago, I worked for a client to buy a domain. Previously, I bought a domain with Namecheap through Bitcoin, and as usual, I tried it. During that time, I was asked to pay $50+ fees for $50 transactions. So it's totally useless to use Bitcoin there. I had to use my card to purchase the domain name. So usually we can't make small Bitcoin transactions in this situation unless transaction fees become law. A few days ago, I also used LTC to make payments. I forgot where, but besides Bitcoin, there were options for LTC as well. So it does require only small transaction fees. 

Despite how much of a bitcoin enthusiast that I am, I hate to say this but this is one of the limitations of bitcoin,  at this it doesn't accommodate or supoort for use by small/ medium scale or nano business  owners for transactions. A grocery store owner for instance can't make use of bitcoin right now for sales because fees could be slightly lower or higher than the amount needed for transaction.
 

Reason why people stop using Bitcoin for small transactions varies but I believe the transaction is not mainly the reason because they can use the lightning network to avoid paying high transaction fees.
From my perspective, I don't use Bitcoin for small transactions to keep my bag intact cause I don't want to waste any, especially now that halving is approaching.

Frankly speaking i do have several transactions which are currently stuck into the network and im not really that willing on paying up higher fees even if we do say i do make out $1000 in transaction on which paying up $20 or even more or having that spike of $110 as far as i have checked out yesterday then these fees gone crazy on which we cant really be able to deny that it do really sucks on making small transactions.
This is why i have stopped on making out some transactions as of this moment and would be waiting up for everything to settle down. Yes, this isnt something that we dont really like to see on Bitcoin fees
but with having that scalability issue but well this isnt something that would really be always happening.

Actually this is my first time on seeing Bitcoin fees playing around $20-110 maximum on which this isnt something those numbers that we've seen even into that BRC20 spam.
I dont know on whats the reason behind of this spike whether it do really talks about tons of buys but seeing on the current price that we do have on which it didnt really made out such move
that much. It would really be just that making out those kind of questions on whats happening now.

I don't think anyone would do this kind of mistake in his sense, because when there are alternatives ways already, why  you will use Bitcoin using unnecessarily high transactions? Be it in case of small transaction or in case of big transaction if bitcoin transaction is to be done then I would say to hold the current fund and find out some other way for that transaction to complete it. And when the transaction fee of Bitcoin is reduced, then the transaction is completed.
Currently I am doing all my transactions through Lite coin because this coin seems safe to me and has the lowest transaction fee. I think that's Alternative Coins were not invented for going in vain, they also have a reason to be invented and that is why they are called Bitcoin Alternative Coins. So don't make the mistake of taking their benefits of these at the right time.

As it is there is no way to make small transaction. Today I was trying to see if the transaction is low from $100, guy I could not really believed on the fee I saw with my eyes. At first they refused to accept the transaction because the coins not enough to pay the fee. So I reduced it to $6 to be withdrew. But could you believed that the transaction fee was about $85.8 and if I convert the $6 to my local currency is about 8k that is my money from the transaction while the $85.8 is a about 100k. That is madness transaction fee. So all the small scale and medium transactions for now have been suspended till further notice.
