Very small transactions happen on the internet all the time. Services like venmo allow for very small casual transactions all the time. And there is no cost for the transaction.

Sure venmo is trusted third party and the transaction is reversible, but it's still significantly easier and cheaper than bitcoin. Or any other other coin for that matter.
