Micropayments are a huge deal in third world nations. Few realize how a little can go a long way in those countries. The ability to give a couple bucks without having to fork a huge amount over in transaction fees is invaluable to those people. Part of the problem with sending money to many countries is the fees often top 10%. Sending a small amount of money simply is not possible.
Imagine the number of families that could be fed in a country like Uganda simply on the spare change Americans have laying around.
It's actually already kind of happening with cellphone minutes. They use them as currency in Cuba and some countries in Africa. A true micro payments solution would be god sent. We are still not there yet, it's very early. This artboard website is a very very early pioneer of things to come. saludos @Taskmaster4450!
