Making bitcoin transactions is digital equivalent of melting and recasting gold bars. You should not try this at home if you don't know what you are doing. This base-layer Bitcoin is not suitable for average Joe and I doubt it will ever be. Average people will have to move to upper layers where they will work with something more convenient backed by those gold bars. Hence Lighting Networks and/or Sidechains.
